Postpartum Complications

The minutes and hours after birth are a critical time period. When medical professionals fail to provide adequate care during postpartum recovery, both mother and child can suffer severe and life-threatening injuries.

• Failure to recognize and treat respiratory stress disorder (RSD) in newborns
