Types of Birth Injuries in Miramar and Florida

One of the most common and severe types of birth injury that occurs during labor involves the brain. One of the most common types of brain injuries that infants sustain is caused by lack of oxygen to the brain. Known as fetal hypoxia, this can be caused by an umbilical cord being wrapped around the baby's neck or it can be caused by a delay in getting an emergency C-section. Lack of oxygen to a baby's brain can lead to lifelong disability and developmental delays. In many cases, these types of brain injuries in Miramar and Florida can be prevented if doctors act quickly, diagnose complications adequately, and take the proper steps to carefully monitor a child and mother during delivery to ensure that any issues can be dealt with promptly.

Another type of birth injury, known as Cerebral palsy, is also caused by oxygen deprivation. This can lead to motor problems, poor muscle control, affective brain function, and mental delays as well as vision and hearing problems. This is one of the most common birth injuries related to the brain and can affect a child's development over a lifetime.

Another common type of birth injury is known as Shoulder Dystocia. This type of injury usually occurs if the infant’s shoulder becomes stuck during delivery and excessive force is used when trying to remove the baby. When excessive force is used, the muscles may stretch or tear, leading to mobility problems and pain for the child. If the injuries are permanent and lead to permanent paralysis or movement limits, the injury is known as Erb's Palsy. This condition can affect the shoulder, but also the hand and arm.
