Mild hypoxia in newborns does not usually lead to epilepsy, but if it is severe it can potentially lead to epilepsy.
Neonatal hypoxia is mostly seen in pregnancy hypoxia, such as hypoxia caused by low amniotic fluid or umbilical cord around the neck, or it may be caused by a prolonged labor process. However, if it is only mild hypoxia, timely intervention usually does not have a significant impact on the brain tissues, and it does not usually cause epilepsy.
If the newborn is deprived of oxygen for a longer period of time, it may cause some damage to the brain tissue, which may lead to epilepsy.
Mild hypoxia in newborns, must cooperate with the doctor in time to deal with and pay attention to observe the newborn’s condition, if there is any abnormality promptly consult the doctor.
