Intensive Care Mistakes

Sometimes babies are born in a poor condition for a variety of reasons and therefore treated in the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Many of these babies recover and become fit and healthy children. Others sadly will always be disabled to some extent or may even die.

Very occasionally one of these babies will not be monitored or treated properly and as a result suffer a serious brain injury and develops cerebral palsy.

These cases often involve medical negligence resulting from a delay in diagnosing and treating severe jaundice, low (or very rarely, high) blood glucose levels and neonatal infections.
