Cerebral anoxia is a life-changing injury that occurs when the brain does not receive oxygen and it can lead to permanent brain damage or death.  Brain cells begin dying within approximately five minutes when the brain doesn’t receive oxygen.  Recovery is dependent on the amount of time the brain went without receiving any oxygen and how much damage it sustained.

What Causes Cerebral Anoxia?

Many things can cause cerebral anoxia, including:

• carbon-monoxide poisoning
• smoke inhalation
• medical malpractice
• accidents involving extreme blood loss
• errors with anesthesia

The consequences of cerebral anoxia can be permanent.  Neurons in the brain are at risk to an overload of sodium when brain cells do not receive oxygen.  This can cause swelling and further injury, including psychological and neurological damage to the brain.

Recovering from a traumatic brain injury can be very expensive and take many years.  However, it can be different for everyone depending on the amount of damaged brain cells.  Many who suffer require ongoing medical care, rehabilitation and alterations to their home and lifestyle in addition to their inability to return to work and earn an income.
