Cerebral Hypoxia

Cerebral hypoxia results from a decrease or lack of oxygen to the brain. When hypoxia lasts for a long time (i.e., a few minutes), it can result in serious conditions, including coma, seizures, and even brain death.

Cerebral hypoxia can occur during surgery or childbirth, sometimes as the result of medical negligence. General anesthesia complications also can lead to cerebral hypoxia.

Often, a patient or family is not aware that hypoxia occurred. Symptoms of mild cerebral hypoxia include inattentiveness, poor judgment, memory loss, and a decrease in motor coordination. The inability to concentrate and lack of coordination might result in permanent disability to the victim of cerebral hypoxia, particularly when the victim is an infant or a child.

If you or someone you love has suffered from cerebral hypoxia as the result of a medical procedure, or you suspect that deprivation of oxygen may have occurred, please call us at (617) 244-2100 or email: khalpern@halpernlaw.com   to discuss how we can help with this sensitive area of medical malpractice.
