Las diez más comunes lesiones en el nacimiento

Un estudio en el 2016 en el “Expanded Health Data From the New Birth Certificate”, ha reportado en el “National Vital Statistics Reports” para el Centro de Control de Enfermedades, cito un total de 2,073,368 nacimientos que han envuelto lesiones significantes en el nacimiento en 19 estados reportados. Michelle J.K Osterman, et al., “Expanded Health Data from the New Birth Certificate”, 58 Reportes Vitales Estadísticos Nacionales 5 (Oct, 2009), http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr58/nvsr58_05.pdf. Significantes lesiones en el nacimiento, como han sido reportadas por CDC, incluyendo fracturas esqueletales, tejido blando/hemorragias solidas en los órganos, y daños en el nervio periférico.

En adición a las lesiones citadas abajo, la base de datos de abogados de lesión fue un  “good resource for birth injury information here.

“Las lesiones en el nacimiento más citadas:

Lesiones de Plexo Branquial (BPI)

Este tipo de lesión en el nacimiento envuelven daños en el liado de nervios que se originan en la columna vertebral superior y va por el cuello, hombro, brazo, y mano. Daño hacia estos nervios pueden alcanzar cualquier lugar desde medio y temporero a severo y permanente (aproximadamente 10% de los casos resultado en discapacidad permanente).  La forma más leve en lesión de plexo branquial es neuropraxia, en la que envuelve que el nervio se estire. Neuroma es mas severo, en la que el nervio este rasgado y no se cura apropiadamente. Una ruptura envuelve el rasgado de los nervios, y aun permanecen conectados a la espina. La presentación de la lesión más severa de plexo branquial es la avulsión, donde la raíz del nervio esta completamente desprendido de la espina, creando parálisis completamente. “Giles Manley, Medical Negligence: Inside the Branchial Plexus Case, 43 Trial 52 (May 2007).”

 

Fractura en el Hueso

Una entrega complicada o dificultosa es usualmente la causa de un hueso roto en los recién nacidos, especialmente fracturas en la clavícula (hueso de collar). Dependiendo de la severidad de la fractura, la inmovilización puede que trate la quebradura. De otra manera, esta se curará sola. MedlinePlus (U.A National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health), http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001588.htm

 

Cephalohematoma

Un cephaloematoma es una acumulación de sangre por debajo de la cubierta de la porción de el hueso del cráneo. Esta no posee peligro a un recién nacido y se desaparece por su propia cuenta. The Merk Manual of Medicine Information (Second Home Edition) Birth Injury

 

Caput Succedaneum (acumulación serosa)

La lesión presenta una hinchazón el cuero cabelludo y una porción del cuero cabelludo puede parecer que contiene hematoma o descoloración. Caput Succedaneum es usualmente ocasionado por exceso de presión durante el parto. Como cualquier lesión en el nacimiento, esta no es una lesión peligrosa y usualmente se cura por si sola. MedlinePlus (U.A. National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health).

 

Asfixia Perinatal

Asfixia Perinatal acurre cuando el recién nacido no recibe suficiente cantidad de oxígeno, usualmente cuando hay una deficiencia de oxigeno en la sangre o si no hay sangre suficiente para el feto o recién nacido. Esta condición puede causar respiración forzada, compleción pálida, convulsiones, coma, o hasta choque. Esto puede desaparecer completamente o puede causar daño neurológico permanente. The Merk Manual of Medical Information (Second Home Edition) Birth Injury.

 

Hemorragia Intracraneal/ Hemorragia Subaracnoidea

Esta lesión incluye sangrado en el cráneo, comúnmente debajo de la del cerebro cubriendo dos capas interiores (hemorragia subaracnoidea). The Merk Manual of Medical Information (Second Home Edition) Birth Injury.

 

Hemorragia Subconjuntival

Esto es meramente un estallido del recipiente de sangre en el ojo, creando una brillante área roja. Otra vez, esta lesión en el nacimiento es usualmente causada por una variación en presión durante el nacimiento y se desaparece por si sola. MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health).

 

Parálisis Facial

Con este tiempo de lesión en el nacimiento, el nervio facial se ve afectado temporeramente o permanentemente. Algunos síntomas persistentes en esta lesión envuelven control escaso sobre los músculos faciales, que usualmente se pueden notar cuando el infante llora. Usualmente esta lesión en el nacimiento desvanece con el paso del tiempo. MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health)

 

Lesiones en la Espina Dorsal

Estas lesiones son casi siempre mas severas que las demás otras lesiones en el nacimiento y posiblemente se deben a daño traumático en el nervio/cordón o un rasgado meníngeo o el uso del fórceps. Esto puede causar parálisis y problemas neurológicos. Karin M. Unsinn, and Acquired Diseases, 20 RadioGraphics 4 (Aug. 200), http://radiographics.rsna.org/content/20/4/923.full.pdf+html

 

Parálisis Cerebral

Aproximadamente dos o tres en 1,000 niños tienen parálisis cerebral. Se caracteriza por espasmos en los músculos, músculos débiles, y falta de desarrollo en las habilidades motoras. Aun con los maravillosos descubrimientos en la medicina, no hay cura para la parálisis cerebral.

West Virginia Jury Awards $10.8 Million in Birth Injury Lawsuit

$

0

Justice was finally served last week for a West Virginia child who reportedly sustained devastating brain damage during birth. According to the district court complaint filed by her parents on her behalf, Aubrie Hysell did not receive adequate oxygen during the labor and delivery process at Raleigh General Hospital in 2010. She was later diagnosed with a permanent neuromuscular disorder called cerebral palsy. Her parents alleged that medical negligence on the part of hospital staff caused Aubrie’s condition. On June 3rd, a jury agreed and awarded a $10.8 million verdict in favor of the plaintiffs.

Aubrie and her parents Crystal and Ryan Hysell were represented by Barry J. Nace and Christopher T. Nace of Paulson & Nace PLLC. After the Hysell’s legal team argued their case at trial, the jury determined that Raleigh General Hospital was responsible for 70% of Aubrie’s injuries while the U.S. government was 30% responsible. The federal government was deemed partially liable because it funds Access Health, a medical network that provided care to Aubrie after she was born.

A key issue of the case was whether the medical team that managed Aubrie’s birth directly contributed to her oxygen deprivation, known as hypoxia, and her subsequent development of cerebral palsy. Per the filed complaint, Aubrie required resuscitation efforts shortly after birth; however, Raleigh General was unable to provide records of what transpired during the first few minutes of her life. This documentation gap is significant, as up to 15% of U.S. cerebral palsy cases are attributed to insufficient oxygen around the moment of birth.

According to the complaint, the Hysell’s struggled to find a cause for the developmental delays exhibited by Aubrie as she grew older. It was not until a 2016 MRI showed brain damage consistent with hypoxia at birth that they began to suspect medical negligence. The Hysell’s further claimed that an earlier MRI of Aubrie was reported to them as normal, and that this error delayed her cerebral palsy diagnosis and treatment. Clearly, the jury concurred that Aubrie’s doctors committed a dereliction of duty.

Included in the award is $9 million for future medical expenses, $837,527 for loss of future earnings, and $1 million in non-economic damages. Non-economic damages are designed to address the subjective losses resulting from an injury – the pain, suffering, and physical and emotional trauma that are not easily quantifiable. In the Hysell’s case, the fact that Aubrie was injured as a newborn and will require lifelong medical care likely contributed to the jury’s high dollar verdict in their favor.

Connecticut Couple is Awarded $37.6 Million for Botched Fertility Procedure

$

Justice was finally served last week for a Connecticut couple who endured the devastating effects of an improperly performed fertility procedure. According to the civil complaint filed with the Hartford District Superior Court, a woman became pregnant with twins in 2013 after being artificially inseminated with donor sperm at the University of Connecticut Health Center (UConn Health). One of her twins died in utero, and the other was born with severe and permanent disabilities. She and her husband alleged that medical negligence on the part of UConn Health caused this tragic outcome. A judge agreed and awarded them $37,621,026.53 in damages.

The couple was represented by Michael J. Walsh of Walsh Woodward LLC, who argued the case before a Hartford Superior Court judge. There were two key issues set forth in the lawsuit: whether UConn failed to obtain the plaintiffs’ informed medical consent during the fertility treatment, and whether UConn failed to provide appropriate prenatal care once pregnancy occurred.

Walsh alleged that UConn Health did not properly advise the plaintiffs of the dangers in using sperm from a donor whose blood had tested positive for cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV is a common infection that is usually asymptomatic in adults but can have catastrophic effects on a fetus when passed through the placenta. The complaint details how the plaintiffs unknowingly chose sperm from a CMV positive donor for an artificial insemination procedure, and how UConn, in violation of their own written policies and procedures, approved and authorized their selection. The co-plaintiff became pregnant with twins using the CMV positive sperm while reportedly unaware of the dangers it posed to her babies if the virus transferred to her.

Per the complaint, she did indeed contract CMV during the insemination process, and the virus was then passed to her twins in utero. Walsh and the appellants maintained that there were warning signs of the transferal as early as 22 weeks’ gestation, when a prenatal scan revealed anatomical abnormalities consistent with CMV infection. However, UConn apparently failed to further investigate and diagnose these findings, depriving the couple of the choice to terminate the pregnancy before it further ravaged their developing babies. The co-plaintiff ultimately delivered a stillborn girl and an acutely impaired boy at 37 weeks of pregnancy. Testing on both newborns revealed a critical CMV infection.

Walsh and the plaintiffs claimed that this shattering event was the direct result of a dereliction of medical duty on the part of UConn. Clearly, the judge concurred that UConn should be held responsible.

Included in the judgement is $24 million for economic damages, which can encompass past and future household and medical expenses and lost wages. The judge also allotted over $13 million in non-economic damages, which are designed to address the subjective losses resulting from an injury – the pain, suffering, and physical and emotional trauma that are not easily quantifiable. In this case, the distress of delivering a stillborn baby combined with the fact that a surviving child will require lifelong medical care likely contributed to the high dollar decision in their favor.

$24 Million Birth Injury Verdict Will Stand

An appeals court in Washington state has elected to uphold a multi-million-dollar verdict stemming from a 2014 birth injury lawsuit. As detailed in the opinion filed this week by the three-judge panel affirming the ruling, Anna Scott and Zachary Burke filed a lawsuit against Jefferson County Public Hospital after the 2014 birth of their daughter Lana. The lawsuit alleged that medical staff at the hospital failed to realize the electronic fetal heart monitor was tracking Scott’s heart rate instead of Lana’s during labor, and due to this error, they were unaware when the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck in utero. Lana was subsequently born with severe, permanent brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. General Electric (GE), which manufactured the fetal monitor used during Lana’s labor and delivery, was also included in the lawsuit on the grounds that the monitor was defective.

Scott and Burke, who are represented by Robert N. Gellatly and John E. Gagliardi of Luvera Law Firm, were awarded $23.9 million in damages in 2020 following a Kitsap County Superior Court jury trial. While the plaintiffs reached a “high-low” agreement with GE before trial, which allowed the company to pay them between $1 million and $5 million based on how much blame was assigned by the jury, GE was eventually dismissed from the lawsuit entirely. Therefore, Jefferson County Public Hospital was determined to be liable for the entire damage amount.

The hospital then appealed the verdict on several grounds. It first argued that a venue change from Jefferson County, where the birth occurred, to neighboring Kitsap County for the trial had been inappropriate. But according to the appellate panel’s ruling, state law only dictates that a claim against a hospital be initially filed in the county where it resides – not that it remains there for the duration of litigation. The panel also determined that a venue change was necessary to prevent a potentially impartial trial, as numerous prospective jurors in Jefferson County were found to have links to the plaintiffs or the hospital and rejected.

Also included in the hospital’s appeal filing was a challenge to the exclusion of causation expert testimony at trial. Jefferson County Public Hospital’s experts opined that Scott’s record of marijuana use and both parents’ genetic history of mental disorders caused Lana’s brain impairment, not negligence on the part of hospital staff. But the appellate panel upheld the trial court’s original ruling that the narrative put forth by the experts was “speculative and irrelevant” and therefore not eligible for jury consideration.

Jefferson County Public Hospital further maintained in its appeal that the trial judge, who at one point allegedly admitted there was a special needs child in her own family, should have recused herself to maintain impartial proceedings. However, the appellate judges struck down this argument on the grounds the official trial record makes no mention of the supposed admission, and that the hospital failed to object when it apparently first learned of the information.

While attorneys for Scott and Burke predict that the hospital will continue to pursue the appeal at the state Supreme Court level, they also noted that their clients are “gratified” that the verdict  currently remains upheld. The verdict award against the hospital includes $2 million in future medical care for Lana, $1.05 million to account for her future lost earnings, $10 million for her future expenses, and $6.25 in noneconomic damages. It also included $4.6 million in damages to her parents. In this case, the catastrophic nature of Lana’s birth injury combined with the fact that she will require lifelong medical care likely contributed to the high dollar decision in her favor.
