Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the safety of use of VE in our department and to determine the frequency and the possible underlying mechanism of hemorrhagic cranial injuries following VE whether it’s simply traumatic or attributable •to under development of the hemostatic system in neonates or combination of both factors. In a retrograde manner, 270 cases were divided into three main groups: Group I including neonates delivered spontaneously (control group); Group 11 including neonates subjected to VE and vitamin Kl (lml. I.M.) was given immediately following delivery and Group III including neonates subjected to VE and no vitamin K, was given. Both groups 11 and III were further subdivided into two subgroups according to whether the criteria for proper application and tratcion were fulfilled or not. All delivered babies, were subjected to the following hemostatic studies immediately following delivery (zero time): 1- Prothrombin Time (P.T.). 2- Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT).
