Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical repercussions and legitimacy of implementing induced therapeutic hypothermia in the management of neonatal asphyxia. Methods: An integrative literature review with a qualitative and cross-sectional approach was carried out with articles reported between 2005 and 2022 available in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scielo databases, with the descriptors “encephalopathy”; “induced hypothermia”; “asphyxia neonatorum”; “resuscitation neonatorum” which were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, selecting the 16 relevant articles that were analyzed in this review. Results: A reduction in mortality was found, with fewer complications in the first days of the babies' lives. Medium-term benefits resulting from the use of therapy were also reported, such as a reduction in cases of cerebral palsy, better cognitive and motor development. Final considerations: In general, it was found that cooling offers better clinical outcomes, in addition to being neuroprotective, which is why its institution brings great benefits in the management of neonatal asphyxia, thus justifying its legitimacy, but there is still a lack of studies that recommend a specific methodology application of hypothermia.
