Anoxemia

Birth injuries occur for many reasons and can result in a variety of outcomes for the infant and his or her family. One of the primary causes for birth injuries is anoxia and hypoxia at birth. Anoxia and hypoxia are among the most dangerous and life-affecting causes of birth injuries. Anoxia refers to a complete lack of oxygen reaching important organs and tissues in the body. Hypoxia refers to a lack of oxygen. Any type of oxygen deprivation around the time of birth can be devastating to the baby’s health. Oxygen deprivation can lead to hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which can cause brain damage and conditions like cerebral palsy. In the worst cases, it can be fatal. What is Anoxia? Anoxia is known as the What is Hypoxia? Just as anoxia describes an absence of oxygen, so hypoxia describes low oxygen levels. Hypoxia is used to describe environmental areas. It is also used to describe low oxygen levels medically. Sometimes only one part of the body has a decrease in oxygen levels, such as one limb. In infants, hypoxia can be a consequence of having a baby born pre-term, as the lungs aren’t developed enough for the baby to manage breathing on his or her own. Hypoxia may also be the result of a brain injury. Many infants who suffer anoxia/hypoxia develop a condition known as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy ( What Causes Anoxia and Hypoxia at Birth? Anoxia and hypoxia are not a common hazard of childbirth. Sometimes during delivery, the umbilical cord can be pinched or...

What Is Aspiration? People who have a hard time swallowing are more likely to aspirate. More than 15 million Americans have trouble swallowing, called People who might aspirate often or have problems swallowing include those who are older adults, who have had a Aspiration Symptoms Sometimes, there’s no clear sign that food or liquid is going down the wrong way. Because you don't notice it, you don't • Feel something stuck in your throat • Hurt when you swallow, or it's hard to do • Cough while or after you eat or drink • Feel congested after you eat or drink • Have a gurgling or "wet-sounding" voice when you eat Other signs are: • Too much • Chest discomfort or • Shortness of breath or • • Frequent • Trouble chewing Aspiration Causes and Risk Factors Your chances of aspiration go up with age, since you may have more trouble chewing and swallowing as you get older. Other things that can cause you to aspirate are: • • • • A loss of mental ability • Loss of muscle tone or coordination that interferes with how well you chew or swallow • Reaction to • • Head and neck injuries • • • Eating or drinking too fast • Dental problems • • • Frequent • Aspiration in Children Some children have trouble swallowing because of throat muscle problems caused by: • Physical conditions such as a • Delayed growth • • Nerve problems • Muscle diseases like Common symptoms of aspiration in babies and children include: • Weak sucking • Red face, watery • Breathing that speeds up or stops while feedi...

El término asfixia proviene del griego a, sin, y sphizos, latido, es decir, suspensión o dificultad en la respiración. Esta expresión se utilizaba para describir las entidades que tenían que ver con falta parcial o total de oxígeno (hipoxias o anoxias) en el organismo. Lacasagne lo definió como ausencia de pulso. + + El término “anoxemia”, cuyas raíces griegas son: a, sin; oxis, oxígeno, y haima, sangre, describe una depleción total del oxígeno contenido en la sangre como consecuencia de déficit en el aporte del mismo, con grados intermedios de hipoxemia, lo cual denota disminución parcial del oxígeno en la sangre, insuficiente para que las células cubran las necesidades metabólicas. El término anoxemia es utilizado en la actualidad para describir las entidades que serán tratadas en este capítulo. + + • Deficiencia en la concentración de oxígeno en la sangre. Si el contenido de oxígeno de la sangre se reduce, puede ser insuficiente para permitir el metabolismo aeróbico de los tejidos, cuya etiología depende de: • Cantidad y calidad de oxígeno en el aire que se respira debido a: disminución del oxígeno en la atmósfera (cuando se asciende a grandes alturas); sustitución del aire por otros gases (intoxicación por monóxido de carbono); sustitución del aire por líquidos (sumersión). • Reducción de la ventilación pulmonar (disminución en la circulación libre del aire por el árbol respiratorio). Ésta puede ser producida, entre otros, por: depresión ventilatoria producida por sobr...
