Background: Whole-body cooling to 33-34C is associated with reduced mortality and improved neurological outcomes in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). In-transport cooling avails patients of the therapy before arrival in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU), but must be balanced against the risks associated with overcooling. Most newborns are transported by specialty neonatal or pediatric transport teams.
