Rapid Cooling Saves Brit Baby From Brain Death

A baby girl born starved of oxygen whose body was cooled for three days to reduce brain damage, has made a complete recovery.

Doctors at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge wrapped baby Ella in a special blanket filled with fluid which cooled her whole body down from the normal 37C to 33.5C.

Inducing hypothermia is a procedure used on oxygen-loss babies.

Ella is now a healthy nine-month-old with no sign of brain abnormalities.

We have no great war, no great depression.
Our great war is a spiritual war.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

There was a Horizon program on BBC a few months ago about the use of body temperature reduction in advanced surgery. Can't find a full YT link though. :lay:

I remember seeing a documentary a year or two ago about how it's been used effectively on serious war casualties.
