@natetexsun Definitely the latter – it’s practice creep, not standard care in Italy.

📢 Huge thanks to  @licia_lugli @isotta_guidotti @Spaggenio
et al. and the 8 Italian NICUs for this collaborative effort!
Clinicians: consider enhanced EEG + MRI in your protocols.
Researchers: more RCTs needed to fine‑tune treatment criteria.

⏱️ Time to initiation of therapeutic hypothermia varied by HIE severity:
• Severe HIE: median 3.2 h (IQR 2.6–3.9)
• Moderate HIE: median 4.5 h (IQR 2.8–5.5)
• Mild HIE: median 5.2 h (IQR 4.1–5.8)

Among infants 33 to 35 weeks’ gestation with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, hypothermia at less than 6 hours’ age did not reduce death or disability at 18 to 22 months’ corrected age. https://t.co/aEmPvyPsco @lina_chalak, @LizSewellMD

Another Canadian taskforce work from newborn Brain Health working Group similar to the preterm brain injury classification work ( https://t.co/DP9ZDqY2II )
We hope this will decrease variably in HIE outcome measures. Gratitude to all taskforce members

Cohort study of face mask PPV with t-piece vs nasal mask with ventilator in the delivery room @NeoResus Like NIPPV. Emergent intubation from 44% to 16%. Wow! https://t.co/FRquYiFSvT Stayed on non-invasive at 1 HOL more, too. I might just roll a @DraegerNews to my next delivery.

So proud to share this article in the SONPM newsletter by my colleague @drnicu with the inception story of the @nicupodcast. We’ve been asked to share the story repeatedly and I’m so pleased it’s available for all.

I am very excited to share our open access book.
It offers practical guidelines for clinicians how to explain neonatal brain injuries to caretakers.
Includes 60 color drawings and explanations of brain injuries.
