NCT ID NCT05574855
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how therapeutic hypothermia (cooling) affects the heart and brain blood flow in newborns who suffered oxygen loss at birth. Researchers used ultrasound to measure heart function and brain circulation in 113 babies. The goal was to better understand the body's response to cooling and rewarming, which can help doctors improve treatment.
