birth trauma

Delivery of a healthy child is dependent on many factors, including the timing of a doctor’s actions or emergency C-section delivery and his or her skills in using delivery-assistance instruments. An error before, during or immediately after delivery can result in devastating trauma to the infant and mother. Injuries to the child can include brachial injuries, shoulder dystocia and oxygen depravation, which can result in death, brain damage, developmental disorders or cerebral palsy. Mothers can suffer C-section complications, uterine rupture and death.
