"Instead, damage is the result of a cascade of chemical reactions, and there is a window of several hours before it becomes permanent."

Unfortunately, since most cp results from events prior to labor and delivery, the majority of babies will not be aided. Conversely, one could posit that failure of brain cooling to prevent cp would confirm the prenatal origin or the insult.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
