Vacuum delivery, or vacuum extraction, is a relatively common procedure and can be used to assist vaginal delivery when there are issues with labor progressing or other complications. There are situations where the use of vacuum extraction during delivery is necessary and effective, and when properly performed, does not pose a threat to the health of the mother or baby. However, vacuum extraction has been linked to brain hemorrhaging. Because of this risk, the doctor or healthcare professional overseeing the delivery must use extreme care and judiciousness when deciding whether a vacuum assisted delivery is required.
Potential complications of vacuum extraction include:
-
Intracranial hemorrhage
-
Cuts and bruising
-
Skull fracture
-
Tearing, soft tissue damage, or other injuries to the mother
Informed Consent and Medical Malpractice
It is crucial for doctors to obtain informed consent before using a vacuum extractor. If an expecting mother is not properly informed on the nature of the situation and of the risks associated with vacuum extraction, it could constitute medical malpractice on the part of the doctor or healthcare provider.

“What should I do if I experience health problems?”
First, seek medical treatment if you are developing health symptoms. Second, consider getting a baseline of your entire health, like blood tests and organ function, in case anything changes. And there are other steps you can take to improve your chances of securing compensation, like preserving evidence. Take photographs or videos of anything involved that you think led to your injury.
It is also important to be careful about what you sign or what you say to companies involved in your injury. They are trying to limit their liability and may try to get you to sign documents or make statements that hurt your case. To ensure your rights are protected in your state consult with an experienced attorney first.
