Cerebral Palsy HIE Timing of Brain Injury

Timing of Brain Injury
There are many ways to time a brain injury to a fetus that suffered from Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (a lack of oxygen or lack of blood flow).  This is necessary in mal practice legal cases where determining levels of responsibility will often depend on establishing the sequence of events and timing. The case will often depend upon weather the nurse or doctor or hospital under review had sufficient warning of the events that occurred.  If they did, then they should bear responsibility for the subsequent injury to the baby.  If they didn't have warning, they should not be held accountable. 

There are a number of ways to determine when a Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathic injury occurred:
1. Determine when the baby began to seizure;
2. Check the nucleated red blood cell and various  lab results ;
3. Evaluate CAT scans, sonograms, head MRI's and other radiographic tests.
      4. Check the fetal heart rate tracings

In determining the timing of an injury we will usually analyze a combination of these factors rather than relying on only one result to determine when a when a Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathic injury occurred during labor and delivery.
