Vacuum extraction can be a valuable tool to assist with a complicated birth. Used correctly, vacuum extraction can deliver a healthy baby and avoid the serious complications that can result from a prolonged labor. However, when vacuum extraction is performed when it is not indicated, or when it is performed improperly, serious, lifelong injuries can be the tragic result. The Miami birth injury lawyers at Freidin Brown, P.A. are experienced in taking on the most serious cases of medical negligence. We can help determine whether a medical mistake was involved in the decision to use vacuum extraction or the way in which it was performed, and we can build a strong case to recover much-needed compensation to deal with a lifetime of challenges and costs while holding doctors and hospitals accountable for their negligence, incompetence and serious mistakes.

What is vacuum extraction?

When labor stalls due to the size of the baby, the shape of the mother’s pelvis, an awkward position of the baby in the birth canal or other reasons, the obstetrician may turn to any number of tools or procedures to help the mother and baby complete the birthing process. Options may include performing a C-section, using forceps, or vacuum extraction.

Vacuum extraction involves using a device that applies suction cups to the baby’s head and then uses vacuum force and pressure to draw the baby out of the birthing canal during a contraction. If this procedure is not administered properly, it can cause serious and permanent injury to the infant, requiring a lifetime of medical treatment, therapy or specialized equipment to help the child function to the best of his or her ability. Some of the injuries caused by improper vacuum extraction include:

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Shoulder Dystocia
  • Erb’s Palsy
  • Brachial Plexus Injury
  • Retinal Hemorrhage
  • Brain Hemorrhage
  • Skull Fracture
