Implementation of a Hypothermia Treatment Program for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy- SCVMC NICU Experience Implementation of this program would not have been possible without extreme dedication of SCVMC NICU staff and families, and support from Santa Clara County First Five and Valley Medical Center Foundation.
Brain injury evolves over time following hypoxic-ischemic insult Primary cell death Cytotoxic mechanisms Delayed neuronal death - Hypothermia 72 hrs HI 6 hours Days Epo and other intervention + Repair mechanisms
