The HIE Calculator is intended to promote identification and early referral of babies at risk for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). It does not determine if a baby should be cooled. The decision to proceed with cooling should only be made after consultation with a Regional Cooling Center (CCS numbered letter), based upon their institutional criteria.
These recommendations are based on CPQCC’s Neonatal Therapeutic Hypothermia toolkit.
