BIRTH TRAUMA OF A NEWBORN: A PROBLEM OF OBSTETRICS AND NEONATOLOGY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Birth trauma (BT) in the structure of morbidity of newborns is 26.3-1.9%, and in deceased full-term newborns - 37.9%. Perinatal lesions of the nervous system lead to disability in 35-40% of cases due to both mechanical damage and various disorders of cerebral hemodynamics. Treatment of BT in newborns is carried out differentially taking into account the type and severity of damage. The main risk factors influencing the development of BT in newborns are pregnancy complications such as large fetal weight and preeclampsia, as well as some complications during labor: premature rupture of membranes, abnormal labor, and disruption of the biomechanism of labor.
