Seventy-six percent of respondents stated that hypothermia was either effective or very effective while 4% stated TH was ineffective in the management of HIE. Only 42% of respondents offered TH and a further 9% transferred patients to other units for cooling. Twenty-four percent had not implemented TH nor planned to introduce it into practice in the near future. Ninety-eight percent of respondents stated TH should be the standard of care in tertiary neonatal units.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Most pediatricians in South Africa who responded to the survey stated that TH is effective to reduce the neurological deficit in HIE, however, less than half offered it as a treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpm-2011-0292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,8]],"date-time":"2012-06-08T15:27:34Z","timestamp":1339169254000},"page":"447-453","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Therapeutic hypothermia and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy: opinion and practice of pediatricians in South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Yaseen","family":"Joolay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatal Medicine, Groote Schuur Hospital and University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael C.","family":"Harrison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatal Medicine, Groote Schuur Hospital and University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alan R.","family":"Horn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatal Medicine, Groote Schuur Hospital and University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,14]]},"container-title":["Journal of Perinatal Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/jpm-2011-0292\/xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/jpm-2011-0292\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,14]],"date-time":"2023-03-14T03:20:52Z","timestamp":1678764052000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/jpm-2011-0292\/html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,14]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,14]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1515\/jpm-2011-0292"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1515\/jpm-2011-0292","relation":{},"ISSN":["1619-3997","0300-5577"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1619-3997","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0300-5577","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,14]]}}}
