Anoxia (Lack of Oxygen to the Brain)
Anoxia is the complete deprivation of oxygen to the brain. Partial lack of oxygen to the brain is called hypoxia. The brain is a sensitive organ which needs oxygen in order to survive and function. Lack of oxygen to the brain can cause permanent brain damage, which is devastating to victims and their families. Brain damage or brain injuries can cause conditions such as cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and mental retardation.
Anoxic injury in a newborn is the most common cause of damage to a baby's nervous system. Attending medical staff are responsible for monitoring a baby during delivery and should take appropriate action to avoid such situations.
