What is Hypoxia?
Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a part of the body is deprived of oxygen. Hypoxia occurs when breathing is obstructed or stopped, and when the flow of blood is inadequate in providing oxygen to cells.
Many people experience mild "generalized hypoxia" when they are at a high altitude and atmospheric pressure is low. Alternatively, scuba divers may experience hypoxia as a result of breathing gaseous mixtures with low oxygen content.
Hypoxia during birth is a common cause of fetal brain injury. The effects of hypoxia are more serious for younger patients. Scientists now know that individuals who have experienced birth hypoxia are at a greater risk for mental health problems later in life.
Common causes of hypoxia:
- Choking
- Strangling
- Head trauma
- Carbon Monoxide poisoning
- Cardiac arrest
- Complications from anesthesia
- Complications during birth
- Atmospheric conditions
Common symptoms of hypoxia:
- Headaches
- Poor judgment
- Memory loss
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Feelings of euphoria
- Nausea
- Seizures
- Death
The prognosis for someone who has experienced hypoxia depends on how long the brain was deprived of oxygen and how much damage has occurred.
If you or a loved one has experienced hypoxia and it may have been caused by the negligence of another party, contact an attorney who specializes in birth injury cases.
