Forms of Birth Injuries & Causes
A birth injury is any sort of harm brought upon an infant due to a medical professional’s mistake. In some incidents, a birth injury can actually occur before the child is born. Regardless of when the harm actually occurs, it often results in serious consequences and lifelong disabilities. Physical manifestations of birth injuries can be paralysis, weak muscles, and a lack of coordination; mental debilitations, such as severe learning disabilities, can also be caused by a birth injury.
Some commonly occurring causes of birth injury cases are:
Failure to diagnose: Some birth injuries do not occur in a single moment but rather due to an obstetrician’s failure to recognize a problem early on in the pregnancy. In such cases, the child may have already been harmed extensively, usually due to oxygen deprivation or malformations, by the time they are born.
Twisting or pulling: Doctors assisting a woman in labor can rush the procedure by excessively pulling and twisting the newborn. Too much force or stress on a joint can cause immediate and permanent damage, such as shoulder dystocia, in which the infant’s shoulder muscles and nerves are stretched to the point of paralysis.
Incorrect equipment use: Medical equipment used to assist in child birth must be handled carefully. Selecting the wrong equipment or using it recklessly can cause serious harm to the mother and child, rather than making birth easier.
Ineptness: Unqualified and inexperienced doctors should not be assigned to a birth alone. The appropriate procedure would be to have them assist another doctor that has the experience necessary to safely deliver a child.
