Birth Asphyxia Causes and Side Effects
Asphyxia refers to oxygen deprivation, which can occur during birth for a variety of reasons. Medically, birth asphyxia refers to oxygen deprivation during or immediately following birth. Oxygen deprivation disallows cells to function properly, which can lead to lasting and severe damage. If doctors fail to diagnose birth asphyxia, the child could sustain lasting medical damage.
Causes of asphyxiation at birth include:
- Inadequate oxygen supply in the mother's bloodstream
- Early separation of the uterus and placenta at birth
- Prolonged labor and delivery or difficult delivery
- Severe infection (affecting the mother or infant)
- Infant anemia (not enough oxygen in the baby's blood)
