Other specified brain damage due to birth injury - Prevention
Preventing other specified brain damage due to birth injury requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes proper pre-natal care, monitoring of the mother and fetus during labor and delivery, and prompt medical intervention when any potential issues arise. additionally, identifying and managing any risk factors (such as maternal age, preexisting medical conditions, etc.) prior to conception can help reduce the risk of developing this type of brain damage.
