Brain injuries from mva's
A birth-related brain injury can be caused by oxygen deprivation, poor monitoring, drug negligence during pregnancy or delivery, failing to perform a timely caesarean section (C-section), the use of excessive force during delivery, dropping an infant, and other trauma to the head which will affect the brain.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is used as an umbrella term to describe a group of non-progressive, non-contagious conditions that cause physical disability in human development.
Damages to the motor control centres of the young developing brain can lead to CP and can occur during pregnancy. Cerebral refers to the affected area of the brain, and Palsy talks about the disorder of movement.
Brain damage in premature babies - babies may suffer damage to the white matter of their brains at childbirth. This type of brain damage is called Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL). Some premature babies need mechanical ventilation to assist with their breathing, but the gas levels in their blood should be closely monitored.
The levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide are particularly important for the health of the baby’s brain. Medical research shows that if the pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood remains too low (called Hypocarbia) for an excessive period, this may result in white matter brain damage.
Premature babies are extremely fragile and their condition can change rapidly. Fortunately, nursing and pediatric standards of care have developed to the point that expected levels of monitoring and care can significantly reduce the risk of severe harm.
