Passive Cooling Versus Blanket-Roll III on The Myocardial Function of Asphyxiated Neonates

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Hypoxic Encephalopathy; Birth Asphyxia; Neonatal Encephalopathy; Hypothermia, Newborn

• Registration Number: NCT05652738
• Lead Sponsor: Alexandria University

Brief Summary

Studying the effect of passive versus Blanket roll III modality of therapeutic hypothermia (TH)on myocardial function of asphyxiated neonates through using tissue Doppler (TD).

Detailed Description

A clinical trial study of 100 Gestational-age-matched asphyxiated cooled neonates will divided into two groups, 50 in each group for comparison the myocardial function using passive cooling and BLANKET ROLL III as modality of TH.
