AB To  reduce  mortality  in  infants  with  perinatal  hypoxia  ischemia  when  initiated  before  6  hours  of  age.  It  is  indicated  in  the  treatment  of  infants  (36  0/7  weeks'  gestation  or  greater,  younger  than  6  hours)  who  fulfill  the  criteria  for  the  diagnosis  of  moderate  to  severe  hypoxic  ischemic  encephalopathy  (HIE).  Cooling  can  be  done  by  selective  head  (Olympic  Cool-Cap  System,  Olympic  Medical  Corporation,  Seattle,  WA)  or  total-body  cooling.  This  chapter  discusses  total  body  cooling.
