Andrew G. L. Whitelaw (born 31st August, 1946) is a British neonatologist and academic, known for his work on treating conditions affecting newborn babies. He holds the position of Emeritus Professor at Bristol Medical School, associated with Bristol Neuroscience.[1]

He is a member of the Royal College of Physicians and a Fellow of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. He also served as the president of the Neonatal Society.[2]

His research has over 15,553 citations across 9,919 documents. Additionally, his h-index stands at 61.

Early life

Whitelaw was in West Fife, Scotland to Robert and Cicely Whitelaw.[3]

Whitelaw received early education at Commercial Primary School.[3]

Research

Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH) and Hydrocephalus in Premature Babies

One of Whitelaw's notable findings is the efficacy of ventricular lavage in reducing brain injury and disability in post-haemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Ventricular lavage removes toxic substances, such as free iron and pro-inflammatory cytokines, released by old blood.[4][5][6]

Hypoxic-Ischaemic Injury in Full-Term Babies

Whitelaw's research has involved prevention and treatment of hypoxic-ischaemic injury in full-term newborns. He has been one of the pioneers developing and testing cooling by only a few degrees as a therapeutic approach for neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. This intervention (therapeutic hypothermia) has been shown to improve the odds of survival without neurological impairment at 18 months of age.[7][8][9]
