Fetal Anoxia Attorney
Fetal Anoxia is a condition where the oxygen supply to the brain is cut off during the birth process. The most common factors leading to fetal anoxia are breech birth, where the baby is not facing the correct direction; shoulder birth, where the arms or shoulders present themselves before the head of the child as in a regular birth. Still another possible cause of Fetal Anoxia may be a lack of blood to the brain. Doctors should know that the birth process in not proceeding correctly and should take the proper steps to rectify the situation ensuring that the infant has an airway in the event of a shoulder or breech birth situation.
Other problems that can lead to Fetal Anoxia are an umbilical cord that is wrapped around a child's neck. The umbilical cord can tangle around the neck and stop blood and oxygen from reaching the childs brain. Fetal anoxia can also occur if the mother does not take the proper labor steps and agree/comply with the doctors request for proper infant health; imbilement of alcohol, smoking, drug use, bodily shock or trauma and illness/viral infections that are not treated or properly monitored. All of these complications can lead to Fetal Anoxia and almost all of the problems associated with the injury are 100% preventable.
