Abstract

Asphyxia is defined as lack of oxygen (hypoxia) due to failure of initiation of breathing. A condition during the perinatal period that severely reduces oxygen delivery and leads to acidosis. A lack of oxygen or an excess of carbon dioxide caused by the interruption in breathing, is the result of the failure of the gas exchange organ. Asphyxia continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period (WHO).
