HIE, which is short for “hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy,” is a birth complication that happens when an infant suffers reduced blood flow and oxygen to the brain during delivery. HIE can result in permanent brain damage and is one of the leading causes of infant death.
There are many reasons why an infant might be born with HIE, including the position of the umbilical cord, untreated medical conditions in the mother, and prolonged labor.
If you think your child's experience with a cooling treatment for HIE was the result of medical negligence, please contact the team at Birth Injury Center to schedule a free consultation for legal assistance. Procuring legal advice is the first step in finding out whether you qualify for compensation due to medical malpractice.
