Perinatal asphyxia is the leading cause of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and TH is the only approved neuroprotective treatment to limit brain injury, improving the mortality rate and long-term neurological outcomes. HIE is often associated with severe respiratory failure, requiring MV, due to different lung diseases or an impairment of the respiratory drive. The respiratory support management of asphyxiated newborns is very difficult, considering (a) various pathophysiological contexts, (b) the strong impact of TH on gas metabolism and (c) on lung mechanics, and (d) complex TH-MV interactions. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the real indications of MV for cooled newborns, considering the risks of respiratory overassistance (hypocapnia/hyperoxia), as well as the adequate monitoring systems. To date, specific randomized studies about the optimal respiratory approach for cooled newborns are lacking, and strategies for MV support vary from center to center. Moreover, there are many open questions about the real effects of cooling on lung mechanics and on surfactant, most appropriate method of blood gas analysis, and clear indications for pharmacological sedation.
