Decreased Oxygen Flow To The Brain and Medical Malpractice

Cerebral hypoxia is a situation which occurs as a result of a decreased oxygen supply to a person's brain despite the fact that there may be adequate blood flow to the brain. This situation can be caused by a number of reasons including: surgical errors; birthing complications; complications of anesthesia; or respiratory arrest which could form the basis of a medical malpractice action. Symptoms of a loss of oxygen to the brain could include in inattentiveness, poor memory or memory loss, poor judgment, a decrease in motor coordination or problems with speaking. The complications which can arise from hypoxia, especially when the condition lasts for a long period of time could include: death; brain death; coma; paralysis; seizures; or other permanent injuries of a devastating nature. These problems are especially severe when they occur to an infant or a young child. The situations where hypoxia occur could include: birthing complications; motor vehicle accidents; falls in nursing homes; delay in the diagnosis and treatment of a serous illness or injury; medical conditions such as meningitis, pulmonary embolisms, untreated jaundice in newborns; prescription errors; and a number of other accidents or traumatic events.
