Boise Birth Injury Lawyer
Fetal brain injuries are birth injuries that almost always involve an interruption of the flow of blood to the baby's brain creating a lack of oxygen. Occasionally, fetal brain injuries occur that are unpreventable or almost unpreventable. More often, though, they occur because of the negligence of a doctor, OB/GYN specialist, a pediatrician or a nurse. For example, medical experts can:
- Fail to take advantage of equipment designed to detect fetal distress or to use equipment improperly
- Fail to address issues involving breach births and issues involving jammed shoulders and pinched umbilical cords
- Fail to read fetal heart tone monitor strips correctly
- Use the labor-inducing drug Pitocin improperly, leading to problems with babies' oxygen supplies
- Fail to be present when needed during birthing difficulties
