Oxygen Deprivation at Birth: Possible Long-Term Effects

Oxygen deprivation at birth can be serious. When a baby’s brain does not receive enough oxygen during labor or delivery, it may lead to complications such as HIE, seizures, developmental delays, motor problems, learning challenges, or cerebral palsy. In this video, the Gershon Law Firm explains possible causes of oxygen deprivation, including placental problems, umbilical cord complications, fetal distress, prolonged labor, infection concerns, or delayed delivery. Not every case means medical malpractice occurred. However, families may have questions about whether warning signs were recognized, whether fetal monitoring was reviewed properly, whether the delivery team acted quickly enough, and whether earlier action could have reduced the risk of injury. The Gershon Law Firm helps families review possible birth injury and medical malpractice cases. Our lawyers are also medical doctors, giving us insight into both the medical and legal sides of these cases.
