How Does Cerebral Palsy Occur
Instances of medical malpractice that lead to infant brain damage and cerebral palsy can be:
- Prior to delivery, failing to recognize transfusion problems with the placenta or umbilical cord, such as with placenta previa or a prolapsed cord
- During labor, failing to recognize the baby is showing signs of trouble during labor, often in the form of a slowing heart rate (i.e., fetal bradycardia, decelerations or the absence of fetal heart rate variability)
- Failing to recognize that the baby is in trouble during labor and not delivering the baby in time to prevent brain damage
- During delivery, leaving the baby in the birth canal when the baby is stuck because of shoulder dystocia or an unusual birth position
- Improper use of forceps or the vacuum extractor during delivery
