• Resumen

  • There has been a societal presumption that most, if not all, cases of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy-induced cerebral palsy occur during the 3 hours that are related to the events of labor and delivery; society has tended to overlook the remaining 7000 hours of the pregnancy. As a result of this societal perspective, oftentimes the obstetrician has been tergeted unfairly as the person who is responsable for a given child's neurologic injuries.
