-Failure to recognize and treat seizures following delivery
-Failure to detect a prolapsed cord (when the umbilical cord wraps around the child's neck and cuts off oxygen to the brain)
-Improper or excessive  use of vacuum extractors
-Improper or excessive use of forceps
-Failure to properly respond to fetal heart rate changes
-Leaving the child in the birth canal too long causing a lack of oxygen to th brain
-Failure to respond to the mother's changing conditions such as high blood  
 pressure, toxemia or abnormal pain

-Failure to timely diagnose and treat jaundice
