What Causes Low Blood Oxygen Level On Infant?

Hello doctors, Its the ninth month of pregnency and yesterday during regular check up, the doctor said that oxygen level for baby is dropped to 4% and he suggested to have gyragin sachet 3 packs a day. Could you please let me know the causes for drop in oxygen levels, its effects and how it can be avoided. Also request you to suggest alternatives to gyragin sachet.

Hi

Uterine contraction and hypotension of mother are main causes of reduced oxygenation of baby, Also it is predictor for metal distress. Thorough evaluation by Cardiotocogram is important to assess metal well being.
