title: [Stridor in neonates with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy subject to selective cerebral or whole body hypothermia].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Hypothermia treatment has improved the prognosis of asphyxiated neonates. Widely used, it has demonstrated to be safe without severe side effects. The aim of this article is to review the incidence of stridor amongst asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia in our unit.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective chart review of our patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Stridor was presented in 7/75 (9.3%) of patients during hypothermia. Three received whole body hypothermia, 3 selective cerebral, and in one case both techniques were used. All cases required increased respiratory support.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Different mechanisms may be responsible for the appearance of stridor in patients with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). In our series the incidence of stridor was similar for the two hypothermia devices. To better understand these possible side effects of hypothermia, further prospective studies (which should include laryngoscopy) are needed.
