What Can Cause HIE In My Baby?
Показать описание
What can cause HIE? In other words, what is one thing that can lead to hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy during a vaginal delivery? If you are reading this Maryland birth injury article because you have just been informed of the medical condition HIE, this article may help you get a better understanding of the issues from a medical/legal standpoint.
Because HIE is a serious medical condition, it is important that parents get as much information regarding their child’s condition from doctors as possible. If you are just learning about the condition, no thanks to any of your medical professionals, then this article may be a good springboard into future areas of research on your part.
WHAT IS HIE?
HIE, as mentioned above, is short for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. To understand the condition, I will break the words up. The easiest way to understand hypoxic is to look at it from an oxygen standpoint. It deals with oxygen. Ischemic means blood, and encephalopathy means a brain injury. So, if we bring the words back together we get a reduced level of blood and oxygen which leads to a brain injury.
HIE is a condition that has to be closely monitored for in the delivery room. This is because the condition can not only mean a brain injury, but death can result if a baby has to go on too long with a reduced level of blood and oxygen.
WHAT CAN CAUSE HIE?
There can be many causes of HIE. But for the purpose of this article, I will discuss one important cause, umbilical cord prolapse. Umbilical cord prolapse occurs when the cord is delivered before the baby. Normally, the baby’s head is delivered first, not the cord. One of the main concerns regarding cord prolapse is compression of the umbilical cord. As some have stated in the past, the umbilical cord is the baby’s lifeline, as it provides blood, oxygen, and other nutrients to the baby.
Compression of the baby’s umbilical cord can lead to a reduced level of blood and oxygen. This reduction of blood and oxygen can lead to HIE in the baby. Doctors and nurses can use the electronic fetal heart monitor to assess the baby’s wellbeing.
The electronic fetal heart monitor is used to assess how well a baby is tolerating a vaginal delivery. Doctors and nurses can see a sharp decline in the baby’s heart rate when compression occurs. If doctors and nurses do not work to correct the baby’s fetal distress, then HIE can occur. Doctors have to be ready to move to a C-section when warranted or the baby might develop a brain injury, or eve death in some cases.
