Oxygen Deprivation

We all understand that oxygen is essential for life. Even a short period of time without oxygen can cause life-threatening problems. The severity of the damage caused is dependent on the amount of time the child was deprived of oxygen and the part of the brain that was affected. Oxygen deprivation can cause serious problems with cognitive development and mobility. Some of the reasons a child may experience oxygen deprivation include:

• Umbilical cord twisted around neck: The umbilical cord can also be dangerous and cause problems by strangling the infant.
• Umbilical cord is compressed: If the umbilical cord is compressed or twisted, the flow of oxygen may be weak, which can lead to serious and devastating consequences for the infant.
• Birth canal problems: If the baby spends too long in the birth canal, he or she may be deprived of oxygen for a period of time. A doctor needs to know when it is necessary to provide a c-section for the health and safety of the mom and baby.
• Meconium aspiration: Meconium is stool that an infant may pass during the birth process, which can be a sign of distress. If the stool is released into the amniotic fluid, there is the possibility that the baby will aspirate into the lungs, which can lead to serious pneumonia.
