Why Birth Injuries Happen and How Negligence Plays a Role

Trauma suffered during delivery is a leading cause for injuries suffered. There are numerous reasons why delivery injuries occur, here are the top four:

• Improper use of forceps: Physicians can often use forceps to assist in the delivery of an infant when the mother is having problems delivering on her own. A birth trauma lawyer sees the devastating effects of improper forcep use all too commonly. Forceps use decreases the risk of fetal distress and oxygen deprivation; however, improper use can cause nerve damage to the chest and neck as well as less severe head injuries.
• Improper vacuum use: Another assistive method for delivery is the use of a vacuum device. These vacuums are typically attached to the baby's shoulder or skull, but improper usage of the vacuum can lead to injuries for both the infant and the mother.
• Delayed Caesarian section: When an infant is suffering from fetal distress the medical professional in charge of the delivery may order an emergency Caesarian section. The C-section is often ordered when the infant's heart rate drops, or if the mother is having excessive bleeding or other delivery issues. In cases where a delivery team fails to recognize a situation calling for an emergency C-section, birth injuries may occur to both the child and the mother. In such a situation, the delivery team may be held responsible for the injuries by your birth injury attorney.
• Hypoxia: This is a condition in which the infant does not receive enough oxygen to their brain. Causes of Hypoxia include a tangled umbilical cord as well as damage to or infection of the placenta. Physicians are trained to recognize the signs of hypoxia and if they fail to detect the condition and remove the risk, they may be held responsible for any traumatic brain injuries or damage that occur as a result. When not treated in a timely manner, hypoxia can lead to severe physical and mental defects.
