Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, or HIE, is brain damage caused by a shortage of oxygen (hypoxia) and blood flow (ischemia) to the brain. This can happen during surgery, childbirth, or other medical events.

During and after heart surgery, even brief drops in oxygen or blood flow to the brain can cause serious damage. HIE can lead to lasting cognitive issues, memory problems, or personality changes.

These injuries are often preventable when proper monitoring standards are followed. Understanding the risks and warning signs can help patients and families take action and protect their rights.

Your brain needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to function properly. During heart surgery, machines take over this job, so it’s critical that the medical team carefully monitors blood flow and oxygen levels the entire time.

If blood pressure or oxygen delivery is not maintained:
• Brain tissue may suffer irreversible damage
• Patients may awaken with severe cognitive impairment
• Permanent hypoxic-ischemic brain injury can occur

Modern monitoring systems make these outcomes largely preventable when properly managed, but understanding the risks of cardiac surgery complications can help patients and families ask the right questions and stay informed.

In birth injury cases, the details in the medical records and imaging often tell a much deeper story than what’s immediately visible after delivery.

Our team reviews key clinical indicators alongside advanced brain imaging to help understand what may have happened during labor and delivery, and how it could impact a child’s long-term health.

Learn how these cases are evaluated and what medical evidence can reveal at https://www.beckerjustice.com/blog/the-science-of-neonatal-brain-injury-and-causation-analysis/

At The Becker Law Firm, our understanding of birth injury cases goes beyond the legal side.

Our full-time NICU nurse and trial lawyer, Christina Getto, spent years caring for babies diagnosed with HIE and has seen firsthand the lifelong challenges these children and families can face, from seizures and developmental delays to feeding and breathing complications.

By working with neuroradiologists to review MRI imaging, our team can help families better understand the timing and extent of a baby’s brain injury and whether medical negligence may have played a role.

Blindness after coronary bypass surgery is rare, but it can happen when blood flow to the optic nerve is compromised during the procedure.

If blood pressure drops too low or isn’t properly maintained, the brain and optic nerve may not get enough oxygen, leading to a condition called ischemic optic neuropathy and, in some cases, permanent vision loss.

If you or a loved one suffered serious complications after surgery, contact The Becker Law Firm to learn your options.

Coarctation of the aorta can be a silent and dangerous condition in newborns. Standard hospital screenings don’t always detect this type of heart defect before discharge. Symptoms like shortness of breath can appear around 10 days of life, often when the heart is already under significant stress.

Early recognition is critical, and missed diagnoses can have life-changing consequences.

If your child experienced complications after birth or you have concerns about a delayed diagnosis, contact The Becker Law Firm for guidance on your legal options.

Some serious newborn heart conditions may not show symptoms until after a baby has been discharged from the hospital.

Critical coarctation of the aorta is a congenital heart defect that can become dangerous once a baby’s ductus arteriosus begins to close after birth, sometimes leading to shock, heart failure, or collapse if not recognized in time.

Learn why early warning signs are often missed and what families should know after bringing a newborn home.

The Becker Law Firm is proud to announce that managing partner, Romney Cullers, has been invited, for the second year in a row, to speak at the 78th Annual Belli Seminar taking place in Chicago on July 24, 2026.

This year’s presentation will focus on the evidentiary challenges faced during the trial of Kula v. Omni Manor Healthcare Center, et al. (Mahoning County Case No. 23-CV-2099), which resulted in an extraordinary verdict on behalf of the family of a disabled woman who tragically choked to death at an assisted living facility.

We’re honored to have the opportunity to contribute to important discussions surrounding trial advocacy, evidentiary strategy, and accountability in healthcare negligence litigation alongside some of the nation’s leading trial attorneys.

We look forward to sharing more as the event approaches.
