How Hypoxic Brain Injuries Happen
Hypoxia occurs when oxygen is restricted, and the body begins to operate at a deficiency. This can result in certain organs shutting down or sustaining damage. During the birth process, umbilical cord compression can reduce oxygen and lead to hypoxic brain damage. A decrease in oxygen can lead to catastrophic injury, especially in a newborn baby with a rapidly developing brain.
Hypoxic brain injury can lead to problems that include:
- Developmental disorders
- Permanent speech and communication disabilities
- Vision or hearing loss or impairment
- Motor and balance impairment
- Seizure disorders
Tissue can begin to die after four minutes without oxygen. As a result, hypoxic brain injuries are always damaging. Healthcare providers have a responsibility for protecting the life and well-being of newborns. If your baby has suffered serious injury or developmental delays caused by hypoxic brain damage, our Portland birth injury lawyer can help.
