Understanding Vacuum Extraction Injuries in Newborns
Vacuum extraction is a procedure sometimes used during difficult deliveries. While necessary in certain cases, improper use or not following established safety practices may increase risks for newborns.
Types of Injuries & Signs to Watch For
Common injuries associated with vacuum extraction include:
- Scalp hematomas (bleeding under the skin)
- Brachial plexus nerve injury
- Intracranial bleeding (inside the skull)
- Fractures of the skull or clavicle
- Facial nerve injuries (temporary or permanent)
Often, signs of birth injury may not become obvious until days or weeks after leaving the hospital. Medical staff in Las Cruces are expected to monitor infants closely when vacuum extraction is used. When mistakes or improper technique occur, children may face lifelong challenges. Our practice understands both medical standards and local hospital protocols. When you work with a vacuum extraction injury attorney, you gain an advocate who can identify potential negligence, interpret medical records, and pursue at-fault parties for accountability.
