t would be difficult to imagine a greater tragedy than a helpless infant's life being ruined at the moment it starts, but sadly this tragedy occurs all too often. Doctors and hospitals can make mistakes during the birth process which can cause fatal, disabling or disfiguring injuries. The most common of these are Erb's palsy (damage to the nerves in the brachial plexus causing paralysis to an arm), hypoxic brain injury (where the brain is damaged because the baby was denied sufficient oxygen), and forceps injuries (where the baby's face is disfigured or nerves or damaged by the use of forceps to aid in delivery. There are many other errors by doctors and nurses which can cause birth injury, including:
- Failure to respond to bleeding.
- Failing to respond to umbilical cord entrapment.
- Failure to respond to fetal distress.
- Delay in ordering C-section.
- Misuse of vacuum extractor or forceps.
- Improper use of pitocin.
- Poor newborn care after birth.
- Failure to manage infection.
