Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a certain part of the body is deprived of oxygen. Hypoxia can result in permanent brain damage. Doctors and hospital staff are required to take adequate precautions to prevent hypoxia.
Common factors that can result in low fetal oxygen levels before and during labor and delivery include:
low maternal oxygen levels, often secondary to decreased respiration from anesthesia;
low maternal blood pressure;
placental abruption;
overstimulation of the uterus, often secondary to Pitocin;
compression of the umbilical cord; and
poor placental function associated with post-date babies.
