@littleonesworldwide: ✨ THERAPEUTIC HYPOTHERMIA for infants is a medical treatment where the body’s temperature is lowered. ✨ It is primarily used in critical care settings , such as neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE - known as brain injury in newborns) or birth asphyxia where the body is deprived of oxygen ✨ Therapeutic hypothermia is induced by medical professionals through various methods including the use of cooling blankets, ice packs, cold intravenous fluids, or specialised cooling devices. ✨ Signs and symptoms can include cold skin, pale appearance, slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, altered consciousness, and abnormal breathing patterns. These symptoms are expected and monitored during the treatment process. ✨ If a newborn is undergoing therapeutic hypothermia, it is crucial to follow the guidance of medical professionals. They will closely monitor the baby's vital signs, adjust the cooling process as necessary, and provide appropriate medical care. NOTE: Therapeutic hypothermia for infants is a specialised medical treatment and should only be performed under the supervision of healthcare professionals. It is not something that can be done at home or without medical expertise. #TherapueticHypothermia #hypothermia #cold #LowTemperature #therapy #newborn#infant #children #toddler #learn #MedicalAdvancements #HealingJourney #fyp
