Neonatal HI
• Most common cause of death & morbidity among human neonates
• 23% infant mortality worldwide
• Even in developed countries, incidence has not decreased in last 2 decades Lee, Ped Res 2013

Prevention
Lives that could be saved by 2025 with universal coverage of care.
Lancet 2014;384(9940):347–70
• 30% reduction in intra-partum related NND following resuscitation training

Prevention
HBB – Kenyan rural hospital:
• Quality improvement techniques to reduce HIE rates
• 10 months – HIE 53% (14.7/1000 – 7.1/1000 LB)
• Maintained sustained by: Improving staff communication
Ongoing refresher training
Retaining trained staff

Hyperthermia, hyperoxia! • Avoid hyperthermia
T ≥ 38°C, unfavourable outcomes (CoolCap, nnn-Trial) 3.6-4 fold risk of death/disability for every 1°C (NICHD)
• Initial resuscitation with 21% FiO2 Better outcomes - mortality, trend mod-severe HIE, less oxidative stress
(Saugstad, Neonatology 2008)

Current recommendations - Cooling
International consensus – Perlman, Circulation Oct 2015
• Low income/limited resources
• Mod-severe HIE may be treated with TH
• Clearly defined protocols ≈ RCT in developed countries
• Facilities with resources – IV, respiratory support, lab facilities, pulse oximetry, antibiotics, anti-convulsants, multi-disciplinary teams
![Page 8: HIE CAN WE DO BETTER?€¦ · EEG Monitoring Technique Influences the management of Hypoxic-Ischemic Seizures in Neonates Undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia Jan s, at al. Dev Neurosci](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042222/5ec8c6c6fa5f903eb574a154/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Benefits of Cooling • Reduces mortality and neurodevelopmental impairment at 18mo – NNT 6-7
• Advantages persist to 6-7 years (TOBY) more with IQ ≥85 less mod-severe disability
(Azzopardi D, et al. N Engl J Med 2014;371:140-9)
• No increase in IQ <70, severe disability, death at 6-7yrs (NICHD) (Shankaran S, et al. N Engl J Med 2012;366:2085-92)
• Association between favourable 18/12 and 7-8yr outcomes (CoolCap) (Guillet R, et al. Ped Res 2012)
(Tagin, MA. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2012;166(6):559-566.)

aEEG – effect of temperature
• Little change with therapeutic range temperatures
• Flattens with deep hypothermia (<23°C)
• ie. as long as temp within therapeutic range, changes reflect injury (or meds)
• NB. TH time in QS…delay in onset of normal SWC

Monitoring
aEEG (if available) • simple, non-EEG experts
• change in neurological status
• sub-clinical seizures
• directing care
Seizures • >60% likelihood with abn initial aEEG
(Glass, Neurol 2014)
• Additional brain injury (Shah, Arch 2014)
• Worse adverse outcomes (Glass, J Ped 2009)

Monitoring – aEEG/EEG EEG Monitoring Technique Influences the management of Hypoxic-Ischemic Seizures in Neonates Undergoing Therapeutic Hypothermia
Jan s, at al. Dev Neurosci 2017;39:82–88
3 different periods
1. Brief (1 hr) conventional EEG
2. Brief EEG, then aEEG for cooling duration, then brief EEG after re-warming
3. Continuous video EEG (cEEG) during cooling (72h) + 12h during & after re-warming
46% less likelihood of ASD prescription in period 3 cf. period 1
⇢ Better detection of real seizures, but also less over-treatment

• PPV>90% after 24h
• Abnormal outcome: 50% abn aEEG (BS or worse) 24-

Blood glucose • Both and - adverse outcome
(Basu SK, et al. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed 2015)
• Likely related to severity of injury vs TH
• Ability to become hyperglycaemic may indicate milder disease (less depleted liver/glycogen stores), but still need to control closely
avoid iatrogenic hyperglycaemia while trying to prevent hypoglycaemia

Lab tests
Asphyxia &TH
• Platelets, DIC
• Bleeding time, endothelial dysfunction
Infection risk
• HI increase immune response
• TH dampens response IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, MCP-1
• Early diagnosis – combination TH & infection worse outcomes in infection-sensitised animal models Shouldn’t be cooled?? Difficulties in diagnosis (TH: WBC markers, del CRP response) Current practice: antibiotics until cultures negative

Other common drugs
• Phase 1 metabolism (hepatic cyt p450) Midazolam, fentanyl, paracetamol, corticosteroids, phenytoin, phenobarbitone Lignocaine, clearance by 24% during TH
shorter loading, ff lower weight-based infusion dosing
• Phase 2 (conjugation) • Phenobarbitone, paracetamol, Morphine (serum levels 42%, and clearance 22%)
• Phase 3 (renal excr) • Gentamicin trough levels - permanent hearing loss
trough levels before every dose, don’t re-dose until level < 2 mg/L
• Levetiracetam largely (66%) excreted unchanged though kidney concern levetiracetam may exacerbate HI injury – TH may protect against this effect - ??

• Cooling now becoming more established
• Now need to optimise
• Strict monitoring (& follow up) important
• Most efforts - labour/delivery mx, resuscitation

Continuum of care
• “The time has come for these health interventions for newborn babies to be integrated into maternal and child health programmes...The continuum-of-care approach promotes care for mothers and children from pregnancy to delivery, the immediate postnatal period, and childhood, recognising that safe childbirth is critical to the health of both the woman and the newborn child—and that a healthy start in life is an essential step towards a sound childhood and a productive life. Another related continuum is required to link households to hospitals by improving homebased practices, mobilising families to seek the care they need, and increasing access to and quality of care at health facilities.”
The Lancet Neonatal Survival Series, 2005
SDG No.3
• “The right person, at the right time, in the right place, providing the right care.”
Centers for Disease Control/CARE International, 2001
