Clinical studies have examined the association of fetal asphyxia and cerebral and other organ system dysfunction in the newborn to determine this threshold.
However moderate and severe intrapartum fetal asphyxia will cause brain damage.
There is no morphological or histological evidence of brain damage in many deaths attributed to fetal asphyxia.
What proportion of cerebral palsy is related to birth asphyxia?
Although the prevalence has yet to be determined, the role of the clinician in intrapartum fetal asphyxia is clear.
Total asphyxia is unlikely in the human fetus.
Its main aim was to serve as a screening test for intrapartum fetal asphyxia, which can cause fetal mortality or cerebral palsy.
Assessing the contribution of birth asphyxia to cerebral palsy in term singletons.
