wearing a "frozen helmet" to prevent brain damage
British doctors decided to use a high-tech experimental therapy - using a special helmet attached to a freezer to "freeze" Olivia's brain! The helmet, made in the U.S., is based on cooling the brain to slow brain damage caused by swelling in brain tissue caused by lack of oxygenPreviously, the novelty device was only used in the US, but St Michael'sHospital in Bristolapproved to become the firsthospital to try it in the UKAfter asking her parents' consent, Olivia was taken to the intensive care unit and put on the quirky 'cooling helmet', which was then injected with frozen fluidIn just a few minutes, Olivia's brain temperature dropped from a normal 37.2 degrees Celsius to 33 degrees Celsius" The UK's first frozen-brainbaby"
, Olivia's brain was frozen for three days, and she remained quiet throughout the treatmentAmazingly, the treatment was so successful that a ct scan of the brain a few days later showed that Olivia's brain functionwased normally without any damage and she was finally allowed to go home with her parentsMarian Tolison, a professor of medicine who treats Olivia, said: "The 'frozen brain' method works because it stops or slows down the process of brain damageit is understood that Olivia is the first newborn in the UK to receive a "frozen brain." On the 25th, Nicola said happily: "Now Olivia has grown into ahealthyhappy little girl, thanks to the treatment, it is a miracle!" "
