Ann & Robert H. Lurie Childrenâs Hospital of Chicago was one of the original study centers for the Cool-CapÂ® hypothermia system. If your baby's pediatrician or neonatologist diagnoses HIE shortly after birth, he or she will determine if your baby may benefit from head cooling therapy.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a group of compounds which contain the elements chlorine, fluorine and carbon. At room temperatures, they are usually colourless gases or liquids which evaporate easily. They are generally unreactive and stable, non-toxic and non-flammable.
Chloroform is an organic compound with formula C H Cl 3. It is a colorless, sweet-smelling, dense liquid that is produced on a large scale as a precursor to PTFE and refrigerants, but the latter application is declining.It is one of the four chloromethanes and a trihalomethane.DCl 3 is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy. Deuterochloroform is produced by the haloform reaction, the reaction of acetone (or ethanol) with sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite. The haloform process is now obsolete for the production of ordinary chloroform.
