If you are still unsure of the ant species after observing them in action, collect a few to examine under a hand lens, magnifier, or microscope, if you have one. The easiest way to capture and kill ants for examination is to fill a small vial, pill container, or jar with a small amount of ethanol or rubbing alcohol. Use the end of a soft cloth, or a brush, wet with alcohol to pick up the ants and drop them in your container.
When the heart does not get enough oxygen, either during a heart attack orâ¦ for whatever other reason, it tends to go into ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, which can be reversed, but must be done quickly. In children, the most common cause of cardiac arrest is hypoxia and respiratory distress or arrest.
Brain damage caused by lack of oxygen falls into two different categories: anoxia and hypoxia. Hypoxia occurs when the infant is deprived of the adequate amount of oxygen, leading to mild to moderate brain damage. Apoxia occurs when the infant undergoes a total lack of oxygen, which can lead to severe brain damage. Both hypoxia and anoxia can lead to cerebral palsy and a host of other medical disorders. The most common reasons infants are deprived of adequate oxygen at birth include: 1  Umbilical Cord Problems: A twisted, prolapsed, or knotted umbilical cord can cut off an infantâs oxygen supply at the most critical moments of their lives.
