summary

Fetal hypoxia is a problem that many pregnant women often encounter, and its reasons are various, for example, the umbilical cord around a certain part of the body, or placental dysfunction caused fetal hypoxia and so on. Next, explain how maternal fetal hypoxia is caused.

What is the main cause of fetal hypoxia

First of all, the umbilical cord surrounds a certain part of the body, such as the neck, hands, feet, etc., or some fetuses will grasp the umbilical cord and cause hypoxia; Long term exposure of pregnant mothers to thin air can also cause fetal hypoxia; When flying, the air pressure in the cabin drops sharply, resulting in fetal hypoxia; When a pregnant mother gives birth, the respirator that she uses fails, resulting in fetal hypoxia.

Secondly, fetal factors, the fetus suffered from severe congenital cardiovascular disease, intracranial hemorrhage, fetal malformations and so on. Fetal distress mainly occurs in the labor process, can also occur in late pregnancy. Maternal factors, maternal blood oxygen deficiency is an important reason. Such as maternal suffering from pregnancy induced hypertension, severe anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, shock caused by various reasons and acute infection fever.

Finally, fetal hypoxia may also be caused by the location of the umbilical cord or placenta. Generally, short, long or blocked blood supply in several generations will lead to fetal hypoxia.
