Did A Knotted Umbilical Cord Cause A Brain Injury in Your Baby?

Doctors must conduct a test for a knotted umbilical cord, when certain factors are present. If these factors are missed by the doctor, along with a test not being performed, fetal hypoxia, or death may be the result for the baby. Doctors provide guidance to mothers who have expressed and explained their concerns if their baby’s movement decreases. If doctors fail to take the proper measures to ensure that the mother avoids a knotted umbilical cord and other injuries, a strong argument for medical malpractice can be made.
