Birth asphyxia (also known as perinatal asphyxia and neonatal asphyxia) occurs when an infant does not receive enough oxygen when born, potentially leading to difficulty breathing. It can happen just before, during, or after birth. Insufficient oxygen supply to the body can cause low levels of oxygen or a buildup of excess acid in the baby`s blood. These effects can be life threatening and require immediate treatment. A variety of factors can cause birth asphyxia.
