Montreal's Sainte-Justine Hospital has a new approach to therapeutic hypothermia | CityNews Montreal

CHU Sainte-Justine hospital in Montreal is integrating therapeutic hypothermia into its neonatal care. This treatment technique, used internationally, involves cooling newborns to 33.5°C to prevent or minimize brain damage from oxygen deprivation at birth, potentially reducing death rates and long-term disabilities. Since being introduced worldwide in 2006, therapeutic hypothermia has significantly enhanced patient outcomes. The inclusion of this method in CHU Sainte-Justine aligns with global medical practices and aims to improve the quality of life for affected infants and their families.
