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 hours to protect the brain. The study involved 115 infants born in community hospitals in Maine and measured how quickly treatment started compared to past cases. It also checked how satisfied doctors were with the telemedicine system.
