Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1998
Shoulder dystocia continues to represent a largely unpredictable and potentially disastrous obstetric emergency. Recent attention has been focused on the effectiveness of obstetric maneuvers employed to alleviate shoulder dystocia. Reports have also questioned the traditional thinking that brachial plexus injury is caused by application of excessive ...

Simulation and Shoulder Dystocia
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2016Shoulder dystocia is an unpredictable obstetric emergency that requires prompt interventions to ensure optimal outcomes. Proper technique is important but difficult to train given the urgent and critical clinical situation. Simulation training for shoulder dystocia allows providers at all levels to practice technical and teamwork skills in a no-risk ...

The frequency of shoulder dystocia in different reports has varied, ranging 0.2-3% of all vaginal deliveries. Once a shoulder dystocia occurs, even if all actions are appropriately taken, there is an increased frequency of complications, including third- or fourth-degree perineal lacerations, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal brachial plexus palsies.

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2002
Shoulder dystocia is an uncommon but not rare obstetric emergency. Death of the infant is unusual but perinatal morbidity is frequent and can result in permanent injury. These cases carry significant medico-legal implications. This chapter covers the mechanisms, predisposing factors and management of shoulder dystocia.

Shoulder dystocia — is it predictable?
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1995An unmatched comparative study is described to determine if routine clinical indicators are useful predictors for shoulder dystocia. Parity, maternal weight gain during pregnancy, and a history of a previous large baby and increased operative vaginal delivery rate were more often associated with shoulder dystocia. No other significant associations were

Shoulder dystocia has no consensus definition or management algorithm. Its incidence ranges from 0.2% to 3% and its occurrence is unpredictable. Risk factors for shoulder dystocia may include macrosomia, maternal diabetes, operative vaginal delivery, history of macrosomic infant or shoulder dystocia, labor abnormalities, post-term pregnancy, maternal ...

Catastrophic shoulder dystocia
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2003The objective of this paper is to outline in a stepwise fashion a life-saving management sequence for catastrophic shoulder dystocia.Five cases of catastrophic shoulder dystocia are analyzed to determine optimal management when confronted with this terrifying obstetric complication.The management of these five cases reveals the importance of the early ...
