Summary
This study examines the effect of inhaled xenon gas in the treatment of newborn infants with
hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in combination with cooling, which is the standard
treatment for this condition. The hypothesis is that the xenon + cooling combination will
produce better neuroprotection than the standard treatment of cooling alone.
