Abstract

Despite the recognition by many researchers that cerebral palsy (CP) is rarely related to obstetric malpractice, there are many instances where obstetricians face litigation when a child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy following a difficult delivery. The aim of this paper is to review relevant research papers to aid practitioners involved in obstetric malpractice litigation. It is also prudent to question the feasibility of costs for long-term care for children with disabilities being met through the legal process.

摘要

尽管许多研究人员都认识到脑瘫（CP）很少与产科医疗事故相关，但在很多情况下，当孩子在难产之后被诊断为脑瘫时，产科医生会面临诉讼。本文的目的是回顾相关研究论文，以帮助参与产科医疗事故诉讼的从业者。质疑通过法律程序来承担残疾儿童长期护理费用的可行性也是明智的。
