In many cases, the cause of a birth injury can be traced to improper monitoring. At the Law Offices of Raymond J. Slomski, P.C., in Phoenix, we have seen cases in which monitors were not used properly and the vital signs being monitored were actually the mother’s, not the baby’s. We have seen cases in which monitors revealed fetal distress or other problems, but either the warning signs went unnoticed or they were not relayed from the nurse to the doctor in a timely manner.
Of course, fetal monitoring technology can reveal problems, but if the problems are not addressed quickly and correctly, they can still result in birth injuries. For example, even if fetal distress is seen on a monitor, if a C-section is not initiated, the newborn may still suffer life-changing brain damage or other harm.
