CMN Provides Cooling Blankets to El Paso Children’s.

Cooling Blanket – $9,000

Approximately one in 1,000 neonates are born with moderate or severe (HIE) hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, a life-threatening condition caused by interrupted blood-flow causing oxygen deprivation at birth that can cause severe brain damage. Thanks to CMN, the cooling blanket system at El Paso Children’s lowers the baby’s body temperature to 92.3 degrees, which slows the baby’s metabolism to prevent or minimize injury.
