Does abnormal Doppler on cranial ultrasound predict disability in infants with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy? A systematic review.

Cerebral doppler ultrasound may be useful in predicting death or disability in infants with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy who are not cooled. Cerebral doppler ultrasound may also be useful in infants who are cooled, if done before starting cooling. Cerebral doppler ultrasound may not be useful when performed during or after completing cooling.
