Parents never think they will ever need a Tulsa birth injury lawyer. The birth of a child is supposed to be a joyous, momentous event. Expecting parents rely on obstetricians, nurses, and other medical professionals to make proper use of the medical technology at hand and to make appropriate decisions.

Occasionally, this does not happen.

Obstetric or neonatal negligence can change the course of a child’s life forever. Some of the more common medical errors that occur in the labor and delivery room or in the neonatal intensive care unit are these:

• Failure to recognize and respond to fetal distress
• Misuse of prostaglandins and Pitocin to hasten labor, which causes hyperstimulation
• Failure to diagnose and treat preeclampsia
• Failure to accurately record fetal heart beat and maternal contractions, or the failure to respond timely to abnormal fetal monitoring telemetry
• Failure to diagnose and treat maternal and neonate infection
• Failure to timely perform caesarian section where such is clinically indicated
• Failure to recognize and respond to fetal shoulder dystocia
