2021, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology MFMCitation Excerpt :Irrespective of this characterization, the neonatal morbidities—fracture, brachial plexus palsy, or hypoxic ischemic injury—with shoulder dystocia are well acknowledged.1,4,5 Most publications about the topic focused on identifying risk factors, management strategies, and interventions to mitigate the neonatal morbidity associated with the impacted shoulder.6–21 The maternal morbidities with shoulder dystocia, however, are inadequately emphasized as evidenced by the few reports that focused on the adverse outcomes of the parturient.
Obstetric Emergencies: Shoulder Dystocia and Postpartum Hemorrhage
2017, Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Despite these multiple known risk factors, it is noteworthy that most shoulder dystocias are uncommon, unpredictable, and unpreventable. Gross and colleagues7 reported a mathematical model suggesting that only 16% of all shoulder dystocias with concomitant neonatal trauma could be predicted. When considering 17 antepartum and intrapartum variables, this model attests to the unlikelihood for clinicians to identify the woman who will have shoulder dystocia and, most importantly, predict neonatal morbidity, such as neonatal brachial plexus palsy.
