KB20 Intrauterine hypoxia

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

Intrauterine hypoxia occurs when the fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen. This may occur with prolapse or occlusion of the umbilical cord, placental infarction and maternal smoking. This can lead to damage of the central nervous system and neonatal encephalopathy, which increases the risk of mortality.
