Fetal hypoxia is prevented by coaching a client in the second stage of labor to take a breath at least every 6 seconds while pushing with each contraction.
Fetal hypoxia, also known as intrauterine hypoxia, is when the fetus isn't getting enough oxygen. It could be caused by a number of things, including umbilical cord prolapse or blockage, placental infarction, maternal diabetes (pregnancy or gestational diabetes), and maternal smoking. Hypoxia may occur from or cause intrauterine growth restriction. The central nervous system can sustain cellular damage as a result of fetal hypoxia. The mortality rate rises as a result, and the risk of sudden infant death syndrome also rises. Numerous neurological and neuropsychiatric problems, including epilepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, eating disorders, and cerebral palsy, have been linked to oxygen deprivation in the fetus and newborn as a primary or contributing risk factor.
