Using a computer-based modeling technique, researchers have found that better access to “cooling caps” for newborns suffering from asphyxia improves outcomes and lowers costs. The findings demonstrate through a computer-based modeling technique, that better availability and placement of “CoolCaps” within a regional healthcare system could lead to a 23 percent reduction in the number of newborns likely to develop permanent damage from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, a form of asphyxia that damages the central nervous system.
