Difficult Delivery and Neonatal Resuscitation: A Novel Simulation for Emergency Medicine Residents
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2019 Introduction: Newborn delivery and resuscitation are rare, but essential, emergency medicine (EM) skills. We evaluated the effect of simulation on EM residents’ knowledge, confidence, and clinical skills in managing shoulder dystocia and neonatal ...

A Study of the Diagnostic Accuracy of an Existing Multivariable Test to Predict Shoulder Dystocia
American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2019 Objectives To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a multivariable prediction model, the Shoulder Screen (Perigen, Inc.), and compare it with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guidelines to prevent harm from shoulder dystocia.

Intrapartum interventions for preventing shoulder dystocia [PDF]
, 2005 BackgroundThe early management of shoulder dystocia involves the administration of various manoeuvres which aim to relieve the dystocia by manipulating the fetal shoulders and increasing the functional size of the maternal pelvis.ObjectivesTo assess the ...

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

Optimal timing for induction of labor in normotensive women: A retrospective cohort study
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 365-371, April 2025.Abstract Objective Labor induction is offered to reduce the risk of stillbirth at late term (41+0 to 41+6) but earlier induction in normotensive singleton pregnancies is supported by weak evidence. The aim of the present study was to investigate the optimal timing for induction in normotensive women.

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Estimated fetal weight (EFW) is essential for managing pregnancy and delivery. Currently, two primary methods are used for EFW: Clinical and sonographic estimation. Both might be influenced by maternal habitus. Obesity has become a global epidemic; however, its effect on EFW and the accuracy of the two methods has yet to be ...

Study of Delivery Forces used during a Shoulder Dystocia Simulation for 6th years Medical Students
Thai Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2017 Objectives: To describe the average force for a normal delivery and a shoulder dystocia using a force monitoring birthing simulator. We also study the influence of gender, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) on the delivery force.Materials and ...

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Mild fundal pressure (MFP) and vacuum extraction (VE) are interventions used during the second stage of labor when clinical intervention is required. While VE is well established with standardized training and predictable risks, MFP remains controversial with limited comparative data. This study aimed to compare maternal and neonatal
