Respiratory management in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy during therapeutic hypothermia: a binational analysis of current practice.

ABSTRACT: The respiratory management of neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a challenging issue, but remains poorly standardized. The aim of this study was to describe current practice regarding respiratory management, particularly tracheal intubation, in neonates undergoing TH in France and French-speaking Belgium. In this binational cross-sectional study, current practices about respiratory management were collected by an online-based survey sent to all tertiary neonatal intensive care units providing TH in France and French-speaking Belgium. Practices were analyzed to assess their heterogeneity and compared between centers that routinely intubate for TH and those that did not. The survey was completed by 57/68 (84%) centers.
