Hypoxia and Anoxic Injuries

Lack of Oxygen

It might seem obvious, but the body requires oxygen to function properly. When the body — and in particular, the brain — is deprived the right amount of oxygen for an extended period of time, the results are usually catastrophic, including permanent brain damage or even death in the most severe cases.

Hypoxia and Anoxic Injuries

Hypoxia and anoxia are technical medical terms that are often used in casual ways that stray from their original meanings. Both of these terms are centered on the effects of lack of adequate oxygen to the body.

  • Hypoxia: a lack of adequate oxygen to the body in general or to specific parts of the body
  • Anoxia: complete deprivation of oxygen to the body or to a specific part of the body

Basically, anoxic injuries refer to a more extreme occurrence of hypoxia in which the body experiences a total lack of oxygen. Both of these injuries are frequent birth injuries that result from medical malpractice. At Doehrman Chamberlain, we have represented many hypoxia and anoxia victims and their families, amassing a track record of successful verdicts and settlements on behalf of our clients.
