Summary

This study tested whether a live video consultation between rural hospital doctors and specialists at a larger hospital could help start cooling therapy faster for newborns with brain injury. The therapy, called therapeutic hypothermia, must begin within 6 hours of birth to protect the brain. The study included 35 infants born in community hospitals and compared them to past cases. Researchers also checked how satisfied doctors were with the telemedicine platform.
