What causes asphyxia?

Perinatal asphyxia occurs when a newborn child is deprived of oxygen for a period of time. The brain needs a continuous supply of oxygen to function. If the brain experiences even a slight period of time without oxygen, it can have devastating consequences. The brain of an infant is at an even higher risk of devastating affects if perinatal asphyxia happens to occur. There are several different circumstances that may lead to perinatal asphyxia. High blood pressure in the mother is most likely the cause of the condition. High blood pressure may result in the newborn getting a insufficient supply of blood. Since blood carries oxygen to the brain, when the infant stops receiving blood, it stops receiving oxygen.It only takes a few moments of an infant experiencing aphyxia for long-term damage to occur. Both short term and long term injuries may include:Speech ImpedimentsRetardationLung, Heart, Kidney DamageBrain DamageDeath
