Several risk factors associated with adverse outcomes have been identified. Mechanical ventilation might increase the risk for hyperoxia and hypocapnia in cooled newborns. We carried out a retrospective study in 71 asphyxiated cooled newborns. We analyzed the association of ventilation status and adverse short-term outcomes and investigated the effect of the former on pCO2 and oxygen delivery before, during and after TH. Death, abnormal findings on magnetic resonance imaging, and pathological amplitude-integrated electroencephalography traces were used to define short-term outcomes. The need for mechanical ventilation was significantly higher in the newborns with adverse outcomes (38% vs. 5.6%, p = 0.001). Compared to spontaneously breathing neonates, intubated newborns suffered from significantly more severe asphyxia, had significantly lower levels of mean minimum pCO2 over the first 6 and 72 h of life (HOL) (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01, respectively) and increased supply of inspired oxygen, which was, in turn, significantly higher in the newborns with adverse outcomes (p &lt; 0.01). Intubated newborns with adverse short-term outcomes had lower levels of pCO2 over the first 36 HOL. In conclusion, need for mechanical ventilation was significantly higher in newborns with more severe asphyxia. In ventilated newborns, level of encephalopathy, lower pCO2 levels, and increased oxygen supplementation were significantly higher in the adverse short-term outcomes group. Ventilatory parameters need to be carefully monitored in cooled asphyxiated newborns.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children8060430","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,21]],"date-time":"2021-05-21T13:15:15Z","timestamp":1621602915000},"page":"430","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Mechanical Ventilation, Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide, Increased Fraction of Inspired Oxygen and the Increased Risk for Adverse Short-Term Outcomes in Cooled Asphyxiated Newborns"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Stamatios","family":"Giannakis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Pediatrics, Neonatology and Pediatric Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, University Children\u2019s Hospital, Heinrich-Heine-University Duesseldorf, 40225 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Ruhfus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics I\/Neonatology, University Hospital Essen, University Duisburg Essen, 45147 Essen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mona","family":"Markus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Pediatrics, Neonatology and Pediatric Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, University Children\u2019s Hospital, Heinrich-Heine-University Duesseldorf, 40225 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0497-4609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anja","family":"Stein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics I\/Neonatology, University Hospital Essen, University Duisburg Essen, 45147 Essen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Hoehn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Pediatrics, Neonatology and Pediatric Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, University Children\u2019s Hospital, Heinrich-Heine-University Duesseldorf, 40225 D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ursula","family":"Felderhoff-Mueser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics I\/Neonatology, University Hospital Essen, University Duisburg Essen, 45147 Essen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hemmen","family":"Sabir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics I\/Neonatology, University Hospital Essen, University Duisburg Essen, 45147 Essen, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Neonatology and Pediatric Intensive Care, Children\u2019s Hospital University of Bonn, 53127 Bonn, Germany"},{"name":"German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), 53127 Bonn, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"329","DOI":"10.1016\/j.earlhumdev.2010.05.010","article-title":"Epidemiology of neonatal encephalopathy and hypoxic\u2013ischaemic encephalopathy","volume":"86","author":"Kurinczuk","year":"2010","journal-title":"Early Hum.
