HIE Calculator

HIE Calculator is an offline educational and reference tool for clinicians and trainees. It helps you review the standard eligibility criteria for therapeutic hypothermia (cooling) in newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), based on the 2024 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) clinical report.

The app walks through the reference criteria:
- Gestational age 36 weeks or more
- Within 6 hours of birth
- (A) Evidence of peripartum hypoxia-ischemia (blood gas, Apgar score, need for resuscitation)
- (B) Evidence of moderate-to-severe encephalopathy on clinical examination
- (C) Optional amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) background pattern

It shows a clear, colour-coded educational summary along with the relevant AAP reference statements for borderline gestational age and timing. It works fully offline, requires no account, and collects no data.
