Factors that may lower oxygen in the baby after birth include: Severe anemia, or a low blood cell count, that limits the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood; Low blood pressure or shock; Respiratory problems that limit oxygen intake; Heart or lung disease; Low oxygen levels may decrease a baby's heart rate, blood pressure and blood flow out of the heart.
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.
