Therapeutic Hypothermia After Perinatal Asphyxia in Infants With Severe, Ductal-Dependent Congenital Heart Disease*

Therapeutic hypothermia can be applied to patients with severe congenital heart disease and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Low-dose prostaglandin E1 infusions are safe for ductal maintenance during cooling, but cardiopulmonary adverse effects should be anticipated.
