Intracranial laceration and haemorrhage due to birth injury - what does this mean
Intracranial laceration and haemorrhage due to birth injury occurs when a baby's head is subjected to excessive force during delivery, resulting in a tear or rupture of the skull and the underlying brain tissue, causing bleeding and damage to the brain.
What happens during the disease - intracranial laceration and haemorrhage due to birth injury
Intracranial laceration and haemorrhage due to birth injury is caused by trauma to the baby's head during delivery. this trauma can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a difficult delivery, a large baby, or a prolonged labor. once the head is injured, the trauma can cause lacerations to the scalp or skull, as well as bleeding inside the skull. this can lead to swelling and increased pressure inside the skull, which can cause further damage to the brain and lead to long-term neurological complications.

Intracranial laceration and haemorrhage due to birth injury - Prevention
Preventing intracranial laceration and haemorrhage due to birth injury requires careful monitoring of the mother and baby during labor and delivery, as well as appropriate use of medical interventions such as forceps and vacuum extractors. it is also important to ensure that the baby's head is adequately supported during delivery. additionally, timely and appropriate management of any abnormal fetal heart rate patterns should be done to reduce the risk of birth injury.
