However, the majority of cases of erb's spalsy are preventable. Midwives, nurses, and doctors, as well as other medical professionals, are required to ensure a high standard of care in the room where babies are born. They must ensure that the baby's shoulders are delivered through vaginal canal and that they don't get stuck or entangled in the pelvic bones of the mother's.

Diagnosis

Erb's palsy is caused by damage to the brachialplexus which is a network or nerves in the shoulder and arm. These nerves can become stretched or torn during a difficult delivery. Symptoms of this condition include weakness or paralysis in the affected arm. Doctors are responsible for diagnosing the condition as fast as possible.

The most frequent reason for this is difficulties during childbirth. It typically occurs when the fetus's size is greater than was expected for vaginal birth, or when the baby's shoulders get stuck during delivery. This is called shoulder dystocia, and it is among the major risk factors for Erb's palsy.

If a doctor puts too much pressure or fails to detect shoulder dystocia, it could result in injuries to the upper nerves of the brachialplexus. This causes Erb's Palsy. The doctor could be held liable for any damage that is caused by negligence.

You must prove that your injuries are caused by the doctor's deviation from the accepted medical practices to be able to win a case for medical malpractice.
