Q

Def of Subgaleal Hemorrhage

Study These Flashcards

A

It is a potentially fatal lesion that results from bleeding into a potential space the subaponeurotic space.

Q

Subgaleal Hemorrhage

Risks

Study These Flashcards

A

Because it forms a compartment large enough to hold an infant’s entire blood volume —-> Extensive blood loss is possible, with a mortality rate as high as 22%.

Q

Etiology of Subgaleal Hemorrhage

Study These Flashcards

A

It can occur spontaneously; rarely they have been associated with cesarean births.
It is most often associated with vacuum-assisted deliveries, which may produce a shearing force to the scalp, tearing the large emissary veins.

Dx of Subgaleal Hemorrhage

Study These Flashcards

A

TTT of **Subgaleal Hemorrhage**

- Do not delay treatment waiting for CT or MRI confirmation. - Stabilization of the infant is the immediate priority.

**Intra-cranial Injuries** - Examples

**Intra-cranial Injuries** - Intra-ventricular and peri-ventricular hemorrhage

Occurs in premature without apparent trauma between birth & 3rd day of life.

Examples of **Nerve Injuries**

Cause of **Brachial Plexus injury**

Due to traction on neck or arm.

Etiology of **Facial Nerve Injury**

- Compression of facial nerve against maternal sacrum promontory - Incorrect forceps application

CP of **Facial Nerve Injury**

On affected side - Perpetually open of eye - Obliterated nasolabial fold - Dropping of mouth - Ineffective suck - Swallowing problems
