TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Birth Injury A1 - Hormann, Mark D. A2 - Zaoutis, Lisa B. A2 - Chiang, Vincent W. Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Birth injuries are an uncommon complication of vaginal and cesarean delivery. Injuries range from those that are minor and require no further diagnostic evaluation or treatment to those that are life threatening or associated with long-term morbidity. Risk factors for injury include macrosomia, precipitous or prolonged delivery, breech presentation, cephalopelvic disproportion, shoulder dystocia, and the use of forceps or vacuum to assist extraction. However, birth injuries also occur in infants with no identifiable risk factors, making prediction difficult.
