What is cause of 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.
