Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is caused by lack of blood flow and oxygen to the brain at birth. But what if a little blue pill could change everything? Yes, *that* blue pill. Read more about Montreal doctor @PiaWintermark's once-unorthodox idea: begiant.ca/stories/people…

Pssst... The Amazing Brain Science Talks are back tomorrow and it's going to be a full house! Join HBHL, @BrainCanada & @BHI_ICC at @_BAnQ to hear from health experts and learn all about the brain, the heart and everything in between. See you soon 👋🧠 amazingbrain.ca

Un merci de la part des parents d’Adam 🏥👶 Dès sa naissance, le petit Adam a dû relever un grand défi : il a été privé d’oxygène et diagnostiqué d’encéphalopathie hypoxique-ischémique (EHI). Il a été rapidement transféré à l’@HME_MCH, où notre équipe de l’USIN était prête à intervenir. « Chaque membre du personnel a pris le temps de nous rassurer avec gentillesse et compassion, » partagent ses parents. « J’étais soulagé de voir une équipe attentive à chaque détail, qui pensait autant à notre bébé qu’à nous en tant que parents. » Aujourd’hui, sa famille est reconnaissante non seulement pour les soins reçus, mais aussi d’avoir pu participer à une étude dirigée par la Dre @PiaWintermark, contribuant à améliorer les soins pour les futurs patients. Merci à la famille d’Adam d’avoir partagé leur histoire avec nous. 💙 — A thank you from Adam's parents 🏥👶 When baby Adam was born, he faced a serious challenge: he was deprived of oxygen and diagnosed with Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). He was quickly transferred to the MCH, where our NICU team was ready to act. “Each member of the staff took the time to reassure us with kindness and compassion,” Adam’s parents shared. “I was relieved to see a team that was attentive to every detail, thinking as much about our baby as about us as parents.” Today, Adam’s family is grateful not only for the care he received but also for the chance to participate in a study led by Dr. Pia Wintermark, helping advance care for future patients. Thank you to his family for sharing their story with us.💙

We had a wonderful time reviewing the highest yield neonatal neurology articles this year with @MolloyElesean and @piawintermark! Be sure to check it out! #neonatalneuro #nicu #nicunurse @tecan

Among preterm infants 22-28 weeks gestation, providing 100% oxygen during deferred cord clamping reduces early hypoxemia without increasing morbidity and mortality. ja.ma/3GXzPIP
