    Abstract Neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are at significant risk for adverse outcomes including death and neurodevelopmental impairment. Neuromonitoring provides critical diagnostic and prognostic information for these infants. Modalities providing continuous monitoring include continuous electroencephalography (cEEG), amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and heart rate variability. Serial bedside neuromonitoring techniques include cranial ultrasound and somatic and visual evoked potentials but may be limited by discrete time points of assessment. EEG, aEEG, and NIRS provide distinct and complementary information about cerebral function and oxygen utilization. Integrated use of these neuromonitoring modalities in addition to other potential techniques such as heart rate variability may best predict imaging outcomes and longer-term neurodevelopment. This review examines available bedside neuromonitoring techniques for the neonate with HIE in the context of therapeutic hypothermia.

    Abstract Recently, two randomized controlled, prospective trials, the Tracheal Occlusion to Accelerate Lung Growth (TOTAL) trials, reported the outcomes on fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) for isolated left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). FETO significantly improved outcomes for severe hypoplasia. The effect in moderate cases, where the balloon was inserted later in pregnancy, did not reach significance. In a pooled analysis investigating the effect of the heterogeneity of the treatment effect by the time point of occlusion and severity, the difference may be explained by a difference in the duration of occlusion. Nevertheless, FETO carries a significant risk of preterm birth. The primary objective of this review is to provide an overview of the rationale for fetal intervention in CDH and the results of the randomized trials. The secondary objective is to discuss the technical aspects of FETO. Finally, recent developments of potential alternative fetal approaches will be highlighted.

    Abstract As the approach to the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the preterm infant remains controversial, the potential consequences of a significant ductal shunt on the brain should be evaluated. In this population at high risk of adverse outcomes, including intraventricular haemorrhage and white matter injury, as well as longer-term neurodevelopmental impairment, it is challenging to attribute sequelae to the PDA. Moreover, individual patient characteristics including gestational age and timing of PDA intervention factor into risks of brain injury. Haemodynamic assessment of the ductus combined with bedside neuromonitoring techniques improve our understanding of the role of the PDA in neurological injury. Effects of various PDA management strategies on the brain can similarly be investigated. This review incorporates current understanding of how the PDA impacts the developing brain of preterm infants and examines modalities to measure these effects.

    Abstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is now well established as the standard of care treatment for moderate to severe neonatal encephalopathy secondary to perinatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants ≥36 weeks gestation in high income countries. The Neonatal Research Network (NRN) contributed greatly to the study of TH as a neuroprotectant with three trials now completed in infants ≥36 weeks gestation and the only large randomized-controlled trial of TH in preterm infants now in the follow-up phase. Data from the first NRN TH trial combined with data from other large trials of TH affirm the safety and neuroprotective qualities of TH and highlight the importance of providing TH to all infants who qualify. In this review we will highlight the findings of the three NRN trials of TH in the term infant population and the secondary analyses that continue to inform the care of patients with HIE.

    Abstract Continuous neuromonitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit allows for bedside assessment of brain oxygenation and perfusion as well as cerebral function and seizure identification. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) reflects the balance between oxygen delivery and consumption, and use of multisite monitoring of regional oxygenation provides organ-specific assessment of perfusion. With understanding of the underlying principles of NIRS as well as the physiologic factors which impact oxygenation and perfusion of the brain, kidneys and bowel, changes in neonatal physiology can be more easily recognized by bedside providers, allowing for appropriate, targeted interventions. Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) allows continuous bedside evaluation of cerebral background activity patterns indicative of the level of cerebral function as well as identification of seizure activity. Normal background patterns are reassuring while abnormal background patterns indicate abnormal brain function. Combining brain monitoring information together with continuous vital sign monitoring (blood pressure, pulse oximetry, heart rate and temperature) at the bedside may be described as multi-modality monitoring and facilitates understanding of physiology. We describe 10 cases in critically ill neonates that demonstrate how comprehensive multimodal monitoring provided greater recognition of the hemodynamic status and its impact on cerebral oxygenation and cerebral function thereby informing treatment decisions. We anticipate that there are numerous other uses of NIRS as well as NIRS in conjunction with aEEG which are yet to be reported.

    Abstract Objective:  This study aimed to assess the viability of implementing a tele-educational training program in neurocritical care for newborns diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH), with the goal of reducing practice variation.
    Study design:  Prospective study including newborns with HIE treated with TH from 12 neonatal intensive care units in Brazil conducted from February 2021 to February 2022. An educational intervention consisting of 12 biweekly, 1-hour, live videoconferences was implemented during a 6-month period in all centers. Half of the centers had the assistance of a remote neuromonitoring team. The primary outcome was the rate of deviations from TH protocol, and it was evaluated during a 3-month period before and after the intervention. Logistic regression via generalized estimating equations was performed to compare the primary and secondary outcomes. Protocol deviations were defined as practices not in compliance with the TH protocol provided. A subanalysis evaluated the differences in protocol deviations and clinical variables between centers with and without neuromonitoring.
    Results:  Sixty-six (39.5%) newborns with HIE were treated with TH during the preintervention period, 69 (41.3%) during the intervention period and 32 (19.1%) after intervention. There was not a significant reduction in protocol deviations between the pre- and postintervention periods (37.8 vs. 25%,
    Conclusion:  This study shows that implementing a tele-educational program in neonatal neurocritical care is feasible and may decrease variability in the delivery of care to patients with HIE treated with TH.
    Key points: · Neurocritical care strategies vary widely in low- and middle-income countries.. · Heterogeneity of care may lead to suboptimal efficacy of neuroprotective strategies.. · Tele-education and international collaboration can decrease the variability of neurocritical care provided to infants with HIE..

    Abstract Neonatal neurocritical care is an evolving subsubspecialty whose goal is to implement neuroprotective care strategies, continuous bedside monitoring of neurologic function, and therapies in order to reduce the risk of neurologic injury and improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates who require intensive care. The provision of neonatal neurocritical care requires a culture change across a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in which equal importance is placed on the neurologic care and the cardiorespiratory care of a given patient. It is a multidisciplinary framework of care in which neonatologist and pediatric neurologist come together to address the unique needs of NICU patients whose brains are still developing and are vulnerable to injury. Advances in bedside brain monitoring techniques and the use of therapeutic hypothermia for Hupoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy have accelerated the development of NeuroNICUs across the United States and abroad. Neonatologists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, nurses, and other ancillary members of the team work together to develop guidelines for commonly encountered neurological conditions in the NICU. The use of these guidelines helps provide standardized care across a unit and can reduce morbidity and length of hospital stay.
