What Are The Complications Of Birth Asphyxia?
No parent expects their child to be injured as the result of a lack of oxygen. Asphyxia is a condition where access to oxygen, either through the umbilical cord or placenta, is compromised, resulting in brain damage. This brain damage, in turn, can lead to a Cerebral Palsy diagnosis and special needs (and challenges) for a lifetime. Better understand birth asphyxia in our video
[videosingle id=”29529″ width=”95%” height=”400″ /]
What Causes Birth Asphyxia & HIE?
A baby is dependent upon blood flow through the placenta and umbilical cord for its supply of oxygen. When blood and oxygen supply are compromised, the baby can be asphyxiated, causing Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (“HIE”) and brain damage.

A C-Section may not be the preferred method of delivery to a pregnant mother, but it can become medically necessary when the baby experiences fetal distress or lack of oxygen, resulting in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (or “HIE”). In this instance, a timely C-Section becomes a critical tool to preserve the health and well being of the child during delivery.
