Anoxia Continued
In my 2000 article, "Anoxia can lead to Brain Injury," some basic facts of brain injury and anoxia were explained. In this week's article, I've attempted to dig deeper to explore its causes, contributing factors, and possible treatments.

Dr. Virginia Apgar, Physician
Dr. Virginia Apgar (1909-1974) developed the now-routine Apgar Score in 1952. By rating five vital signs, the test allows a rapid, objective measure of neonatal health.
