Polar Bear Care: Holding during Therapeutic Hypothermia (Cooling) Demonstration Video
As a part of Polar Bear Care, holding during therapeutic hypothermia can be safely facilitated for many babies. Hope for HIE is partnering with the Newborn Brain Society to promote Polar Bear Care, a trauma-informed and family-centered care practice for babies undergoing cooling. In April 2026, the first HIE Hold-a-thon will take place all around the world! We hope you'll join in! #HopeforHIE #NICU #TraumaInformedCare #FamilyCenteredCare #NewbornBrainSociety #NewbornBrains #TherapeuticHypothermia #HypoxicIschemicEncephalopathy #PolarBearCare
