Cooled newborns get tailored steroid dosing to stabilize blood pressure
NCT ID NCT05836610
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at giving hydrocortisone, a steroid, to newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen who are being cooled and have low blood pressure. Researchers want to find the best dose for each baby by measuring steroid levels in the blood. The goal is to safely raise blood pressure and improve long-term outcomes.
