The Incubator Channel · 11 Aug 2026 · 16 min
Summary
A journal club review of a Journal of Perinatology retrospective cohort of 379 infants with HIE, comparing outcomes such as time to full oral feeds, discharge on breast milk and length of stay in infants held versus not held during therapeutic hypothermia. The discussion critically examines confounding by illness severity, the exclusion of infants who died, and what equipment might make holding during cooling routine.
