Oxygen Deprivation at Birth Injury Claims in Texas

When a child does not receive sufficient oxygen during the delivery process, this can lead to severe implications and injuries. Lack of oxygen during birth is an injury known as “hypoxia.” It is the responsibility of attending medical professionals and other care providers to ensure that your child has sufficient oxygen and does not suffer oxygen loss during, before, or after delivery. If they fail to do so, it could result in devastating consequences for a child.

Some causes of oxygen loss or hypoxia during delivery may include:

Shoulder dystocia
Failure to monitor the baby during labor/delivery
Ignoring signs of fetal distress
Cardiovascular collapse
Injuries to the umbilical cord or umbilical cord prolapse
Congenital heart disease
Placental insufficiency
Abnormalities in the brain’s blood vessels
Infection
Placental abruption
