Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the addition of a drug such as Magnesium sulphate while providing therapeutic hypothermia(or cooling) to babies who are asphyxiated at birth provides additional benefit to the babies’survival and outcome compared to cooling alone
