00:04
types of injuries that
00:05
can occur in birth
00:09
in in the birthing process would be one
00:12
of the most severe would be a hypoxic
00:14
ischemic encephalopathy or what we call
00:16
as hie
00:18
and that can occur if during delivery
00:21
the child was deprived of oxygen or
00:24
blood
00:25
and it causes a major brain injury and
00:28
that can happen
00:29
if for example the fetal monitoring
00:31
strips were showing worry some signs
00:34
and the child should have been delivered
00:37
by emergency c-section and that did not
00:40
occur
00:40
and as a result blood flow
00:44
was stifled and did not get to the to
00:46
the brain
00:47
and so the child has a massive brain
00:49
injury i’ve also seen
00:51
cases where the brain injury has
00:54
occurred as a result of
00:56
bleeding they went in to do an
00:57
artificial rupture of membranes
01:00
and when they did so something an
01:03
emergency occurred
01:04
bleeding massive bleeding happened after
01:07
the rupture
01:08
and they did not get the child to
01:10
emergency c-section
01:12
quickly enough and as a result the child
01:14
lost massive amounts of blood
01:16
and therefore sustained a major brain
01:18
injury less severe but still worrying
01:20
some
01:20
is a child can sustain like a brachial
01:22
plexus injury
01:24
and that’s so during the delivery
01:26
through
01:27
a vaginal delivery the physician
01:30
may have pulled on the neck and
01:33
stretched the nerves
01:35
that span between the neck and the
01:36
shoulder and that’s the brachial plexus
01:38
and as a result the child has a
01:41
neurological injury to their arm
01:43
and so they lose the appropriate
01:46
functioning of their arm
01:47
so those are some of the three types of
01:49
injuries we typically see in birth
01:50
injury cases
