Baby survices due to groundbreaking treatment

The transcript describes a groundbreaking treatment for critically ill patients involving a cooling process to lower body temperature. This method, inspired by climbers who survived freezing conditions, helps the brain repair itself by reducing metabolism. The treatment was successfully applied to a newborn, Jamie, who was given the all-clear after a brain scan. This approach is considered a major breakthrough in neonatal care over the past 20 years.

What was the initial critical condition of the newborn?

• The baby was starving for food.

• The baby had a broken limb.

• The baby's brain was deprived of oxygen.

• The baby had a high fever.

What was the target temperature range for the cooling treatment?

• 30 to 31 degrees

• 35 to 36 degrees

• 37 to 38 degrees

• 33 to 34 degrees

What inspired the technology used in the cooling treatment?

• Space exploration suits

• Deep-sea diving equipment

• Trapped climbers surviving freezing conditions

• Desert survival techniques

How does the cooling treatment help the brain?

• It enhances brain oxygen levels.

• It stimulates brain growth.

• It decreases brain metabolism to aid recovery.

• It increases brain activity.

What was the outcome for the baby after the treatment?

• The baby was transferred to another hospital.

• The baby was given the all clear after a brain scan.

• The baby required further surgery.

• The baby needed additional medication.
