Head Trauma Due to Oxygen Deprivation

The brain needs a continuous flow of oxygen. If not, brain tissue will die. When this occurs, you may hear two medical terms from doctors – anoxia or hypoxia. An anoxic brain injury occurs when there is a total lack of oxygen getting to the brain, while a hypoxic brain injury occurs when there is a partial lack of oxygen to the brain. 

As a general rule, the less oxygen the brain received, the more severe the harm to the brain will result.

When one suffers from head trauma due to a lack of oxygen to the brain, serious impairments, such as cognitive dysfunction can result. Unfortunately, these types of injuries can be caused from medical malpractice. 

Some common ways one can suffer a brain damage due to a lack of oxygen in the context of medical malpractice are as follows:

If oxygen is cut off to the brain for five minutes, brain cells can begin to die. When the lack of oxygen lasts longer, it can cause a coma, seizures, and even death.

As you can imagine, brain hypoxia and anoxia are medical emergencies that need treatment immediately – the sooner medical attention is received and oxygen is restored to the brain, the better recovery the patient will have. While some patients can recover from these brain injuries, the determining factor is usually the length of time the brain went without oxygen.

Symptoms

Despite making a recovery, a person who has suffered a brain injury due to lack of oxygen to the brain might suffer from a long list of symptoms. While all stem from cognitive deficits, the major issues are as follows:

Some common physical deficits are:

Other Types of Brain Injuries Caused by Medical Malpractice

In addition to brain injuries as a result of lack of oxygen, medical malpractice can cause additional brain injuries, such as the following:

Brain injuries are conditions that need to be addressed immediately before they cause permanent brain damage. In addition to hypoxia, common brain injuries associated with medical malpractice are mentioned below:

Brain Injuries and Motor Vehicle Accidents

What happens to your brain when you are involved in an automobile accident? Being involved in an accident caused by a motor vehicle (car, motorcycle, truck, etc.) can cause a wide spectrum of injuries, ranging from a mild concussion to permanent brain damage.

When you are in an accident caused by a negligent driver, your brain can crash around inside your skull. This causes bruising, bleeding or tearing of the nerve fibers. Even if someone seems fine and aware immediately after an accident, the brain can experience delayed trauma in the form of swelling. 

When your brain swells, it pushes against your skull, which can reduce the flow of oxygen from the blood to the brain.

Motor vehicle accidents cause other brain injuries, including:

What are Traumatic Brain Injuries?

Traumatic brain injury lawyers at Tittle & Perlmuter have experience in handling a broad range of brain jury cases, including those involving TBIs. 

A TBI is a distinct type of brain injury that can occur any time sudden physical damage happens to the brain – this can be from an individual’s head hitting an object forcefully or something passing through the skull and piercing the brain. While car accidents can cause most traumatic brain injuries, they can also occur anytime the head is struck.

Traumatic brain injuries can cause a host of problems including:
