It should have taken several minutes to get rid of the shoulder dystocia that the child suffered during childbirth, which led to oxygen deficiency. The child died two days later due to organ failure.
- You can't say it was right or wrong, but it was a very tragic outcome. It would not have been wrong to redeem with Caesarean section, but it was not against science and proven experience to choose a suction clock either, says Andreas Herbst, section manager at the women's clinic in Lund to the News Agency Siren.
"Clearer plan"After the incident, the Lund women's clinic made a Lex Maria report.
- Several risk factors had not been communicated to the doctor who chose to release with a suction clock. In retrospect, it can be said that it would have been better to choose Caesarean section, says Andreas Herbst.
The Women's Clinic has updated its routines for information transfer between doctors.
- We need to have a clearer plan in the journal that is created when deciding to start when the child is large. Based on the information the doctor had, the decision to release with a suction clock cannot be criticized, says Andreas Herbst to the Siren News Agency.
