[Neonatal subgaleal haemorrhage causing fatal course after vacuum-assisted extraction].
2013
: We present a case that emphasizes the importance of early recognition of neonatal subgaleal haemorrhage through knowledge of risk factors and adequate communication within the health team treating the woman in labour. Especially vacuum-assisted extraction of the child significantly multiplies the incidents of subgaleal haemorrhage. The high mortality is directly associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation and bleeding. Early monitoring and treatment with replacement of blood volume is crucial. Education concerning this condition is therefore of great importance.
