The optimal duration of mild therapeutic hypothermia for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is surprisingly unclear. This study assessed the relative efficacy of cooling for 48h versus 72h. Fetal sheep (0.85 gestation) received sham ischemia (n = 9) or 30min global cerebral ischemia followed by normothermia (n = 8) or delayed hypothermia from 3h to 48h (n = 8) or 72h (n = 8). Ischemia was associated with profound loss of electroencephalogram (EEG) power, neurons in the cortex and hippocampus, and oligodendrocytes and myelin basic protein expression in the white matter, with increased Iba-1-positive microglia and proliferation. Hypothermia for 48h was associated with improved outcomes compared to normothermia, but a progressive deterioration of EEG power after rewarming compared to 72h of hypothermia, with impaired neuronal survival and myelin basic protein, and more microglia in the white matter and cortex. These findings show that head cooling for 48h is partially neuroprotective, but is inferior to cooling for 72h after cerebral ischemia in fetal sheep. The close association between rewarming at 48h, subsequent deterioration in EEG power and increased cortical inflammation strongly suggests that deleterious inflammation can be reactivated by premature rewarming.
