Official Title: Pharmacokinetics of Ampicillin in Neonates With Moderate to Severe Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Undergoing Controlled Hypothermia
Brief Summary: Controlled Hypothermia has become the standard of care for neonates with moderate to severe HIE. Ampicillin and aminoglycosides are drugs that are universally used for the treatment of suspected neonatal sepsis, which may or may not be responsible for the etiology of HIE. Currently, medication dosage regimens are not altered in the setting of CH. A better understanding of the effects of our interventions on this unique population may help us tailor our therapy to the specific circumstances of the patient
