I'm a new parent and I'm worried about oxygen deprivation in newborns. Can anyone help me understand how long babies can go without oxygen? I know that oxygen deprivation can cause brain damage, so I'm really concerned. I've heard stories about babies being resuscitated after not breathing for up to 10 minutes, but I'm not sure if that's accurate. What are the risks associated with oxygen deprivation in newborns? Are there any treatments or ways to prevent it? I would really appreciate any advice or information from other forum users who may have experience with this.

Unborn Babies

Most unborn babies can survive without oxygen for between two and three minutes, although some have been known to survive for up to five minutes. After five minutes, most babies are at risk of serious brain damage.

Newborn Babies

Newborn babies can survive without oxygen for a few minutes. It is estimated that a healthy newborn baby can survive without oxygen for up to five minutes. However, this time may be shorter if the baby has a medical condition or is born prematurely. After five minutes, the baby is at risk of serious brain damage.

Infants and Older Children

Infants and older children can survive without oxygen for longer than newborns, but the exact amount of time can vary. Generally, it is estimated that an infant can survive without oxygen for up to 10 minutes, while a child can survive without oxygen for up to 15 minutes. However, after this time, the child is likely to suffer permanent brain damage.

Babies are extremely sensitive to oxygen deprivation and can suffer permanent brain damage if deprived for more than a few minutes. Generally, newborns can survive for 3-4 minutes without oxygen, while infants up to 6 months old can go without oxygen for 5-6 minutes. However, these are only general guidelines and the amount of time a baby can go without oxygen will depend on a number of factors such as the baby's age, size, and overall health. If a baby is deprived of oxygen for longer than what is considered safe, they should be taken to a hospital as soon as possible for medical treatment.

Babies need oxygen for healthy growth and development, so it is important to ensure they are getting enough. How long a baby can go without oxygen depends on their age and health. Generally speaking, newborn babies can survive up to 5 minutes without oxygen, while older babies can survive up to 10 minutes without oxygen. However, it is best to ensure that babies are constantly receiving oxygen to avoid any potential health complications.

Q: How long can babies go without oxygen?

A: The amount of time a baby can go without oxygen depends on several factors, such as age, overall health, and whether the baby was born prematurely or naturally. Generally speaking, infants can survive for up to 5 minutes without oxygen, while newborns who are born prematurely may have a higher tolerance and can survive for up to 10 minutes. However, any amount of time without oxygen can cause severe brain damage and other complications, so it is important to seek medical attention immediately if you suspect your baby is not getting enough oxygen.
