What Causes Birth Injuries at Georgia Military Hospitals?
- Failure to Monitor Fetal Distress: When military medical staff fail to properly interpret fetal heart rate monitoring or ignore signs of oxygen deprivation during labor, the result can be hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebral palsy, or other permanent brain injuries. Proper continuous monitoring is the standard of care during delivery.
