Review of subgaleal haemorrhage cases at University Hospital Galway commences
The Irish Independent reported today on the commencement of a review of maternity deliveries at University Hospital Galway.
The review is being carried out at the request of the Saolta Women and Children’s Managed Academic Network. The review will be done by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals external to the Saolta group.
The review will focus on the labour and delivery of babies that had a subgaleal haemorrhage, also known as a subgaleal haematoma, diagnosed after delivery.
A subgaleal haematoma is a bleed under the skin of the head outside of the skull. It can occur during a difficult delivery, particularly where a vacuum extractor is required.
