Hypoxia

Hypoxia-Related Birth Injuries

Did Your Baby Suffer from Lack of Oxygen During Birth?

When a child does not receive sufficient oxygen during the delivery process, this can lead to severe implications and injuries. Lack of oxygen during birth is an injury known as “hypoxia.” It is the responsibility of attending medical professionals and other care providers to ensure that your child has sufficient oxygen and does not suffer oxygen loss during, before, or after delivery. If they fail to do so, it could result in devastating consequences for a child.

Some causes of oxygen loss or hypoxia during delivery may include:

  • Shoulder dystocia
  • Failure to monitor the baby during labor/delivery
  • Ignoring signs of fetal distress
  • Cardiovascular collapse
  • Injuries to the umbilical cord or umbilical cord prolapse
  • Congenital heart disease
  • Placental insufficiency
  • Abnormalities in the brain’s blood vessels
  • Infection
  • Placental abruption
