In newborns with HIE, TH for 72 hours is the standard therapy to mitigate brain damage. Most HIE patients receive mechanical ventilation during TH and are thus sedated with morphine. Unfortunately, morphine has negative side effects and does not specifically prevent shivering. Prevention of shivering is critical to success of TH, as shivering negates cooling. DEX is a particularly promising alternative sedative because it does prevent shivering and is already used in NICUs for sedation and pain management. In newborns, DEX PK data in the setting of TH is not available and needs to be determined to properly dose DEX for HIE patients.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '1 Day', 'minimumAge': '1 Hour', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
