Insights
Vacuum extraction delivery is linked to higher rates of infant asphyxia and cerebral circulation issues. Early neurological screening for these newborns is recommended to detect potential nervous system problems.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal care
- Neurology
- Obstetrics
Abstract:
In a vacuum extraction 36.2% of the children were born in asphyxia, in 20.9%-with symptoms of disturbed cerebral circulation. In children from the age of 1-7 years-16.3% of them demonstrated pathological signs of the different parts of the nervous system. In this connection the authors suggest a screening by the neurologists during the first days of life of all children born by vacuum extraction.
