Pursuing a Medical Malpractice Case for Brain Ischemia
Many factors can contribute to instances of newborn brain ischemia, including preterm birth. While factors like this are not always preventable, neonatal stroke can result from medical negligence in some cases.
Medical negligence occurs when a health care provider fails to meet the appropriate standard of care for their patient that another provider would have used under similar circumstances. This term can refer to a failure to diagnose a condition, misdiagnosis, prescription error, failure to provide treatment, and more.
When it comes to newborn brain ischemia, the following are examples of possible medical negligence:
- Failure to recognize or address risk factors for neonatal stroke during pregnancy, such as a mother’s preeclampsia, hypertension, or gestational diabetes
- Allowing the baby to remain in the birth canal for too long during a difficult delivery
- Misuse of assistive birth techniques, such as vacuum extraction
- Failure to initiate treatment promptly after recognizing signs of newborn brain ischemia
If you believe one of these or a similar factor played a role in your child’s brain ischemia and subsequent injuries, you may be able to pursue a medical malpractice case. Taking legal action against a medical professional or facility may seem overwhelming, which is why the Birth Injury Lawyers Group would like to help you.
