APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Birth asphyxia happens when a baby’s brain and other organs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients before, during or right after birth. This can happen without anyone knowing. Without oxygen and nutrients, cells cannot work properly. Waste products (acids) build up in the cells and cause damage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Perinatal asphyxia is a lack of blood flow or gas exchange to or from the fetus in the period immediately before, during, or after the birth process. Perinatal asphyxia can result in profound systemic and neurologic sequelae due decreased blood flow and/or oxygen to a fetus or infant during the peripartum period.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neonatal asphyxia is a serious medical condition that occurs when oxygen can’t adequately reach a baby’s cells or organs. Neonatal asphyxia can cause permanent damage and be responsible for several debilitating medical conditions, including cerebral palsy.
