Does hypoxemic ischemic encephalopathy happen more in males than females?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The hie is similar to choking enough to stop breathing for an extended period & get brain damage. Sex doesn't matter, the triggering stress is an equal factor. If blood flow to brain is interrupted or oxygen is unable to enter the blood, the injury can occur. This could be true knots in the umbilical cord, a cord wrapped around the neck or trapped in a clenched fist, stress at or before birth etc.

Same: Hypoxic ischemic encehalopathy (hie) occurs equally in males and females. It is caused form lack of oxygen to the baby just prior or during delivery.
