Yоu аre cаlled tо аn emergent cesarean sectiоn of a full-term neonate due to cord prolapse. Apgars were 0 at 1 minute of life, 1 at 5 minutes of life, and 4 at 10 minutes of life. The neonate required intubation/ventilation, chest compressions, two 10 ml/kg normal saline boluses, and several doses of epinephrine. The admission neurological exam is compatible with severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. At 24 hours of age, the Na+ level is 125, the creatinine is 1.5, and the urine output is 0.2 ml/kg/hr. What is the best management approach in this clinical context?
