Brain Injury

Anoxic brain damage is frequently a consequence of sudden cardiac arrest. When the heart stops pumping blood to the brain there may be decreased oxygen delivery.  Insufficient oxygen may result in cell death. Certain areas of the brain are more susceptible to decreased oxygen levels. Commonly effected areas may regulate coordination, memory, vision, reasoning and problem solving.
