What is Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)?
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a type of brain injury that occurs when the brain does not receive enough oxygen, or blood flow, for a period of time. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy brain damage in infants may occur during labor and delivery due to medical negligence. HIE caused by neonatal or fetal asphyxia is a leading cause of brain damage or death in newborns.
Medical Mistakes May Result in HIE for the Following Instances:
- Cardiac complications
- Umbilical cord injury
- Injury from umbilical cord complications
- Delayed decision to do a caesarean section
- Prolonged labor
- Fetal heart rate mismanagement
- Interruption in breathing or poor oxygen supply
- Intrapartum hemorrhage
- General medical negligence
- Prolapsed umbilical cord
- Placental abruption
- General medical negligence
