How Oxygen Deprivation Causes Cerebral Palsy

How Oxygen Deprivation Can Cause Cerebral Palsy Can a lack of oxygen during labor and delivery cause cerebral palsy? In this video, Houston birth injury attorney Adam Funk explains the medical connection between oxygen deprivation and cerebral palsy — and why timing and hospital response matter. Oxygen reaches a baby through a critical pathway: Mother’s lungs → bloodstream → placenta → umbilical cord → baby. When that oxygen supply is interrupted — due to umbilical cord problems, placental issues, or other complications — the baby’s brain may not receive the oxygen it needs. Brain cells require oxygen to survive. Without it, brain tissue can begin to die. Unlike many other cells in the body, brain cells do not regenerate. If the parts of the brain responsible for movement and coordination are injured from oxygen deprivation, the result can be a permanent movement disorder known as cerebral palsy. In this video, you’ll learn: How oxygen gets from mother to baby What happens to the brain during oxygen deprivation Why brain cells don’t regenerate How damage to motor areas of the brain can lead to cerebral palsy Why not every oxygen deprivation event results in CP Other potential causes of cerebral palsy, including genetic conditions The importance of fetal heart monitoring and timely intervention Hospitals are trained to recognize signs of fetal distress on monitoring strips and respond quickly — sometimes by repositioning mom, providing oxygen, or proceeding to an emergency C-section. When those warnings are missed or ignored, the consequences can be lifelong. If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and you suspect oxygen deprivation during labor or delivery, understanding what happened is critical. 📍 Adam Funk is a Houston, Texas birth injury lawyer who represents families in cases involving HIE, oxygen deprivation, cerebral palsy, and preventable birth trauma. #CerebralPalsy #BirthInjury #OxygenDeprivation #HIE #BirthTrauma #MedicalMalpractice #HoustonLawyer
