Our national mass tort law firm is now actively seeking cases from anyone who used dry shampoo products on a regular basis for a long time period and was subsequently diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or any other type of blood cancer.

Florida is a big state both in terms of population and geographical size. It has over 21 million residents, making it the third-most populated state in the U.S. Even though it is a large state geographically, it ranks 8th in population density, and most of the population is crammed into a handful of urban hubs, including Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Orlando.

Given the size of Florida’s population, it is hardly surprising that the state sees a lot of car accidents and injuries. In 2023, there were a total of 394,456 police-reported vehicle accidents in the state. Nearly 3,500 people were killed in Florida car accidents last year and over 250,000 people were physically injured.

Cord Blood Gas and Birth Injuries

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

On this page, we will explain what cord blood gas analysis is and how the results of this test can be used to determine whether the baby suffered a birth injury during delivery as a result of oxygen loss.

Umbilical cord blood gas analysis assesses the fetal metabolic state at the time umbilical circulation ceases during childbirth. Clamping the umbilical cord is a standard practice after delivery, and research has shown that this test is crucial for evaluating a newborn’s health.

This analysis helps doctors determine if the baby sustained any birth injuries during delivery by indicating whether the baby is experiencing acidosis, a condition that can signal a hypoxic-ischemic event.
