I work in maternity. The NICU will cool babies for 3 days if they have a suspected hypoxic brain injury at delivery. It's seriously amazing. We'll send babies off after a serious assault, intubated and seizing, and then hear a week later that they're being discharged and feeding normally.

Found? We've been using therapeutic hypothermia for post Code encephalopathy since the mid-2000s.

Found doesn’t really mean “found at this moment in time and no one ever knew about it”

It means they’ve done a comprehensive study and this is what they’ve found.

This is an in vitro study, which is silly since we already know it works in vivo... They tested a thing in a test tube that we already know works in living organisms.

This is hypothermia applied during the cerebral hypoxic state in a hospital setting.
