Stroke, cardiac arrest, drowning and birth injury can result in brain injury as a result of decreased oxygen supply to the brain tissue. It can result in mild to devastating injury to all areas of the brain depending on the length of time the patient is without oxygen, the amount of time to restore normal circulation, and age of the patient. as well as pre-existing neurological conditions and other chronic health conditions.

When cells in the brain die, either from trauma or lack of oxygen, blood plasma leaks into the surrounding brain tissue causing swelling and further reduces blood flow. Without the appropriate level of oxygen these cells become damaged and nonfunctioning. In some cases these cells will go on to die, releasing extra liquid and causing more restricted flow of oxygen to the already damaged tissue.
