Neonatal hypoxia (ischemia) simply means a newly born child is not getting enough oxygen supply to their tissue to function properly. The most common causes are airway obstructions, sepsis (systemic inflammations), and heart or lung disease. Depending on severity hypoxia can lead to shock, organ failure, seizures, cognitive disabilities, cerebral palsy, and death.
