Question
Is it possible for newborns with oxygen deprivation to have long-term complications?
Answer
Oxygen deprivation in newborns can cause brain damage, but the brain has a strong compensatory ability, possibly overlooking damaged cells. Newborn brains have not yet established complete neural reflex arcs, so even with minor injuries, they can overcome them through compensatory mechanisms, similar to the utilization rate of only 1/1000 in adult brains.
