Umbilical Cord Compression

A common condition during birth is when the umbilical cord becomes wrapped around the infant's neck or tangled somehow. Your doctor should be skilled enough to expertly handle this condition while preserving the child's airway and resolving the situation with minimal struggle. However, in cases where malpractice has occurred, a doctor may not be monitoring the situation properly. It in these cases that cerebral hypoxia may occur in the child. The child's airway may be cut off or the blood flow to the brain may be stopped due to cord compression. This situation is very dangerous and can lead to severe brain damage if not immediately addressed by the physician.
