However, in the newborn infant it may not be feasible to determine prognosis so soon after exposure to asphyxia. The aim of this study was to determine whether head cooling, delayed until shortly before the onset of postasphyxial seizure activity, is neuroprotective.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Unanesthetized near-term fetal sheep in utero were subjected to 30 minutes of cerebral ischemia. Later, at 5.5 hours, they were randomized to either cooling (n = 7) or sham cooling (n = 10) for 72 hours. Intrauterine cooling was induced by circulating cold water through a coil around the fetal head. The water temperature was titrated to reduce fetal extradural temperature from 39.1 \u00b1 0.1\u00b0C to between 30\u00b0C and 33\u00b0C, while maintaining esophageal temperature &amp;gt;37\u00b0C.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cerebral cooling suppressed the secondary rise in cortical impedance (a measure of cytotoxic edema), but did not prevent delayed seizures, 8 to 30 hours after ischemia. Transient metabolic changes including increased plasma lactate and glucose levels were seen with a moderate sustained rise in blood pressure. This severe cerebral insult resulted in depressed residual parietal electroencephalographic activity after 5 days recovery (\u221214.2 \u00b1 1.5 decibels), associated with a watershed distribution of neuronal loss (eg, 94 \u00b1 4% in parasagittal cortex and 77 \u00b1 4% in the lateral cortex). Hypothermia was associated with better recovery of electroencephalographic activity (\u22128.9% \u00b1 1.8 decibels) and substantially reduced neuronal loss in the parasagittal cortex (46 \u00b1 13%), the lateral cortex (9 \u00b1 4%), and other regions except the cornu ammonis sectors 1 and 2 of the hippocampus.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Delayed
