Neonatal neural rescue : a clinical guide / edited by A. David Edwards, Denis V. Azzopardi, Alistair J. Gunn.
"Worldwide more than one million babies die annually from perinatal asphyxia and its associated complications such as neonatal encephalopathy - one of the major causes of cerebral palsy and cognitive deficiencies in children aside from prematurity. Cooling the head - or the entire body - minimi...
