Summary

This study tests whether giving theophylline, a drug used for asthma, can prevent kidney injury in newborns who experienced oxygen deprivation at birth (HIE) and are receiving cooling therapy. About 30 infants will receive the drug soon after birth. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and safe, paving the way for a larger trial to protect thousands of at-risk babies.
