The authors would like to make two corrections on the article ‘Respiratory management during therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy’.

Under the ‘Blood gas management during TH’ paragraph there was an error in the word used to describe the reduction in PCO2; the sentence should read “The reduction in PCO2 is associated with a 0.012 units increase in pH for each 1 °C under 37 °C [40, 41].”

Under the ‘Conclusions and future directions’ paragraph there was an error in that a superscript character of 9 was added to the PCO2 levels; the sentence should read “To obtain optimal PCO2 levels of 40–50 mmHg, frequency and tidal volume should be kept at a minimum during mechanical ventilation [8].”

The authors apologise for the errors.
