RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to determine diagnostic traction for shoulder dystocia and to assess whether applied traction is modifiable with force training. METHODS: We tethered a force-measuring fetal mannequin (PROMPT, Limbs & Things) within a simulated pelvis such that it would not deliver. We asked participants to apply traction to diagnose shoulder dystocia then stop. Blinded from participants' view, we recorded the peak traction. We then asked them to apply what they perceived to be 20 lb (89 N) traction. Each participant estimated the traction s/he applied. The actual force applied was then revealed to the participants and another blinded sequence was performed. We then allowed participants to view actual force measurements in real time while they practiced getting to their diagnostic traction and to 20 lb (89 N); this was followed by another blinded sequence of traction applications and estimations. Median diagnostic traction and injury threshold values (20 lb [89 N]), and mean ratio of estimated to actual force applied were compared pretraining and posttraining, using Wilcoxon signed rank sum test and t test. Rates of clinical shoulder dystocia and associated brachial plexus injury before and after the study period were compared using chi-square. Significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS: One hundred participants demonstrated a range of diagnostic traction. For 23 participants, traction exceeded injury thresholds, but the average was lowered with training. Before training, participants underestimated their own applied traction by an average of 30%. CONCLUSIONS: Subjective diagnosis of shoulder dystocia during simulation training varies widely and exceeds possible injury threshold for 22% of participants. Accuracy of self-assessment applied delivery traction improves significantly with force training as does clinical diagnosis of shoulder dystocia and decrease in brachial plexus injury incidence.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to comprehensively examine the academic development of shoulder dystocia (SD) through bibliometric and document analysis and to identify topics that can guide future research. METHODS: In this study, performance, co-citation, co-word, and document analyses were used as bibliometric analysis techniques. RESULTS: The study identified 3 main themes in terms of the intellectual structure of Shoulder Dystocia (SD): "Management of SD, Risk Factors and Associated Complications," "Clinical Practices, Birth Abnormalities and Effects of Complications," and "Impact of Education, Clinical Maneuvers and Fetal Health Outcomes." Co-occurrence analysis identified 4 significant themes: "Management and Clinical Practice of SD," "Fetal Macrosomia and Risk Factors," "Obstetric Maneuvers and Brachial Plexus Injury," and "Clinical Trends and Risks in SD." Additionally, ten consolidated themes were identified as a result of thematic coding analysis. CONCLUSION: Shoulder dystocia remains a critical component of obstetric practice. Themes such as training and simulation, risk factors, and technical and management approaches are consistently emphasized. Technological advances and studies on how machine learning techniques can be used effectively in this field reflect innovative approaches in the scientific literature. This analysis confirms that shoulder dystocia is a complex topic requiring a multidisciplinary approach and that research in this field is constantly evolving.

Shoulder dystocia is a serious obstetric complication, where one or both shoulders of a child are trapped after the head is born during vaginal delivery. The situation is life-threatening for the child and requires quick management with obstetric manoeuveres for delivering the shoulders. Rarely, the abdominal approach called Zavanelli manoeuvre is used to achieve delivery after a replacement of the head back in the birth canal, prior to acute caesarean section. This is a case report of a 26-year-old woman with severe shoulder dystocia, failed Zavanelli manoeuvre and vaginal delivery of a lifeless child.

BACKGROUND: Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women with diabetes in pregnancy (DIP) are more likely to have glycaemic levels above the target range, and their babies are thus at higher risk of excessive fetal growth. Shoulder dystocia, defined by failure of spontaneous birth of fetal shoulder after birth of the head requiring obstetric maneuvers, is an obstetric emergency that is strongly associated with DIP and fetal size. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of shoulder dystocia in Aboriginal babies born to mothers with DIP. METHODS: Stratifying by Aboriginal status, characteristics of births complicated by shoulder dystocia in women with and without DIP were compared and incidence and time-trends of shoulder dystocia were described. Compliance with guidelines aiming at preventing shoulder dystocia in women with DIP were compared. Post-logistic regression estimation was used to calculate the population attributable fractions (PAFs) for shoulder dystocia associated with DIP and to estimate probabilities of shoulder dystocia in babies born to mothers with DIP at birthweights > 3 kg. RESULTS: Rates of shoulder dystocia from vaginal births in Aboriginal babies born to mothers with DIP were double that of their non-Aboriginal counterparts (6.3% vs 3.2%, p < 0.001), with no improvement over time. Aboriginal mothers with diabetes whose pregnancies were complicated by shoulder dystocia were more likely to have a history of shoulder dystocia (13.1% vs 6.3%, p = 0.032). Rates of guideline-recommended elective caesarean section in pregnancies with diabetes and birthweight > 4.5 kg were lower in the Aboriginal women (28.6% vs 43.1%, p = 0.004). PAFs indicated that 13.4% (95% CI: 9.7%-16.9%) of shoulder dystocia cases in Aboriginal (2.7% (95% CI: 2.1%-3.4%) in non-Aboriginal) women were attributable to DIP. Probability of shoulder dystocia among babies born to Aboriginal mothers with DIP was higher at birthweights > 3 kg. CONCLUSIONS: Aboriginal mothers with DIP had a higher risk of shoulder dystocia and a stronger association between birthweight and shoulder dystocia. Many cases were recurrent. These factors should be considered in clinical practice and when counselling women.

This study analyzed the adherence to the modified Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) algorithm (HELP-RER) for handling shoulder dystocia (SD) using a virtual reality (VR) training modality. Secondary outcomes were improvements in the post-training diagnosis-to-delivery time, human skills factors (HuFSHI), and perceived task-load index (TLX). Prospective, case-control, single-blind, 1:1 randomized crossover study. Participants were shown a 360° VR video of SD management. The control group was briefed theoretically. Both groups underwent HuFSHI and HELP-RER score assessments at baseline and after the manikin-based training. The TLX questionnaire was then administered. After a washout phase of 12 weeks, we performed a crossover, and groups were switched. There were similar outcomes between groups during the first training session. However, after crossover, the control group yielded significantly higher HELP-RER scores [7 vs. 6.5; (p = 0.01)], with lower diagnosis-to-delivery-time [85.5 vs. 99 s; (p = 0.02)], and TLX scores [57 vs. 68; (p = 0.04)]. In the multivariable linear regression analysis, VR training was independently associated with improved HELP-RER scores (p = 0.003). The HuFSHI scores were comparable between groups. Our data demonstrated the feasibility of a VR simulation training of SD management for caregivers. Considering the drawbacks of common high-fidelity trainings, VR-based simulations offer new perspectives.

Importance: Macrosomia represents the most significant risk factor of shoulder dystocia (SD), which is a severe and emergent complication of vaginal delivery. They are both associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Objective: The aim of this study was to review and compare the most recently published influential guidelines on the diagnosis and management of fetal macrosomia and SD. Evidence Acquisition: A comparative review of guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG), and the Department for Health and Wellbeing of the Government of South Australia on macrosomia and SD was conducted. Results: The ACOG and RANZCOG agree that macrosomia should be defined as birthweight above 4000-4500 g regardless of the gestational age, whereas the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence defines macrosomia as an estimated fetal weight above the 95th percentile. According to ACOG and RANZCOG, ultrasound scans and clinical estimates can be used to rule out fetal macrosomia, although lacking accuracy. Routine induction of labor before 39 weeks of gestation with the sole indication of suspected fetal macrosomia is unanimously not recommended, but an individualized counseling should be provided. Exercise, appropriate diet, and prepregnancy bariatric surgery are mentioned as preventive measures. There is also consensus among the reviewed guidelines regarding the definition and the diagnosis of SD, with the "turtle sign" being the most common sign for its recognition as well as the poor predictability of the reported risk factors. Moreover, there is an overall agreement on the algorithm of SD management with McRoberts technique suggested as first-line maneuver. In addition, appropriate staff training, thorough documentation, and time keeping are crucial aspects of SD management according to all medical societies. Elective delivery for the prevention of SD is discouraged by all the reviewed guidelines. Conclusions: Macrosomia is associated not only with SD but also with maternal and neonatal complications. Similarly, SD can lead to permanent neurologic sequalae, as well as perinatal death if managed in a suboptimal way. Therefore, it is crucial to develop consistent international practice protocols for their prompt diagnosis and effective management in order to safely guide clinical practice and improve pregnancy outcomes.

Maternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevalence are increasing, with both conditions associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. This review aimed to determine the risk of adverse outcomes in women with obesity and GDM, compared with women with obesity alone. A systematic search identified 28 eligible articles. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random effects model, to generate pooled estimates (odds ratios, OR, or mean difference, MD). Compared with normal-weight controls, women with obesity had increased risks of large for gestational age (LGA, OR 1.98, 95% CI: 1.56, 2.52) and macrosomia (OR 2.93, 95% CI: 1.71, 5.03); the latter's risk almost double in women with obesity than GDM. Birth weight (MD 113 g, 95% CI: 69, 156) and shoulder dystocia (OR 1.23, 95% CI: 0.85, 1.78) risk was also higher. GDM significantly amplified neonatal risk in women with obesity, with a three- to four-fold risk of LGA (OR 3.22, 95% CI: 2.17, 4.79) and macrosomia (OR 3.71, 95% CI: 2.76, 4.98), as well as higher birth weights (MD 176 g, 95% CI: 89, 263), preterm delivery (OR 1.49, 95% CI: 1.25, 1.77), and shoulder dystocia (OR 1.99, 95% CI: 1.31, 3.03), when compared with normal-weight controls. Our findings demonstrate that maternal obesity increases serious neonatal adverse risk, magnified by the presence of GDM. Effective strategies are needed to safeguard against neonatal complications associated with maternal obesity, regardless of GDM status.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the high risk factors of obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP), and to explore how to evaluate the relationship between fault medical behavior and OBPP in the process of medical damage forensic identification. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 25 cases of medical damage liability disputes related to OBPP from 2017 to 2021 in Beijing Fayuan Judicial Science Evidence Appraisal Center. The shortcomings of hospitals in birth weight assessment, delivery mode selection, labor process observation and shoulder dystocia management, and the causal relationship between them and the damage consequences of the children were summarized. RESULTS: Fault medical behavior was assessed as the primary cause in 2 cases, equal cause in 10 cases, secondary cause in 8 cases, minor cause in 1 case, no causal relationship in 1 case, and unclear causal force in 3 cases. CONCLUSIONS: In the process of forensic identification of OBPP, whether medical behaviors fulfill diagnosis and treatment obligations should be objectively analyzed from the aspects of prenatal evaluation, delivery mode notification, standardized use of oxytocin, standard operation of shoulder dystocia, etc. Meanwhile, it is necessary to fully consider the objective risk of different risk factors and the difficulty of injury prevention, and comprehensively evaluate the causal force of fault medical behavior in the damage consequences.

This tutorial of the intrapartum management of shoulder dystocia uses drawings and videos of simulated and actual deliveries to illustrate the biomechanical principles of specialized delivery maneuvers and examine missteps associated with brachial plexus injury. It is intended to complement haptic, mannequin-based simulation training. Demonstrative explication of each maneuver is accompanied by specific examples of what not to do. Positive (prescriptive) instruction prioritizes early use of direct fetal manipulation and stresses the importance of determining the alignment of the fetal shoulders by direct palpation, and that the biacromial width should be manually adjusted to an oblique orientation within the pelvis-before application of traction to the fetal head, the biacromial width is manually adjusted to an oblique orientation within the pelvis. Negative (proscriptive) instructions includes the following: to avoid more than usual and/or laterally directed traction, to use episiotomy only as a means to gain access to the posterior shoulder and arm, and to use a 2-step procedure in which a 60-second hands-off period ("do not do anything") is inserted between the emergence of the head and any initial attempts at downward traction to allow for spontaneous rotation of the fetal shoulders. The tutorial presents a stepwise approach focused on the delivering clinician's tasks while including the role of assistive techniques, including McRoberts, Gaskin, and Sims positioning, suprapubic pressure, and episiotomy. Video footage of actual deliveries involving shoulder dystocia and permanent brachial plexus injury demonstrates ambiguities in making the diagnosis of shoulder dystocia, risks of improper traction and torsion of the head, and overreliance on repeating maneuvers that prove initially unsuccessful.

BACKGROUND: Shoulder dystocia is a relatively uncommon but serious childbirth-related emergency. AIM: To explore the improvement and retention of skills in shoulder dystocia management through high-fidelity simulation training. METHODS: The SAFE (SimulAtion high-FidElity) study was a prospective cohort study that utilised a high-fidelity birth simulator. Registered midwives and final year midwifery students were invited to participate in a one-day workshop at 6-monthly intervals. There was a 30-minute initial assessment, a 30-minute theoretical and hands-on training, and a 30-minute post-training assessment on shoulder dystocia management. Pre-training and post-training values for the predetermined outcomes were compared. In each workshop we assessed the proportion of successful simulated births, the performance of manoeuvres to manage shoulder dystocia, the head-to-body birth time, the fetal head traction force, the quality of communication, the perception of time-to-birth, and the self-reported confidence levels. FINDINGS: The baseline workshop recruited 101 participants that demonstrated a significant increase in the proportion of successful simulated births (8.9% vs 93.1%), and a two-fold to three-fold increase in the score of manoeuvres, communication, and confidence after training. Those with low pre-training levels of competency and confidence improved the most post-training at baseline. There was a retention of manoeuvres, communication skills and confidence at 6 months. There was no reduction in fetal head traction force over time. Those being proficient before initial training retained and performed best at the 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: The SAFE study found a significant improvement in skills and confidence after the initial high-fidelity simulation training that were retained after 6 months.

The purpose of this computational study was to investigate the effects of neonate-focused clinical delivery maneuvers on brachial plexus (BP) during shoulder dystocia. During shoulder dystocia, the anterior shoulder of the neonate is obstructed behind the symphysis pubis of the maternal pelvis, postdelivery of the neonate's head. This is managed by a series of clinical delivery maneuvers. The goal of this study was to simulate these delivery maneuvers and study their effects on neonatal BP strain. Using madymo models of a maternal pelvis and a 90th-percentile neonate, various delivery maneuvers and positions were simulated including the lithotomy position alone of the maternal pelvis, delivery with the application of various suprapubic pressures (SPPs), neonate in an oblique position, and during posterior arm delivery maneuver. The resulting BP strain (%) along with the required maternal delivery force was reported in these independently simulated scenarios. The lithotomy position alone served as the baseline. Each of the successive maneuvers reported a decrease in the required delivery force and resulting neonatal BP strain. As the applied SPP force increased (three scenarios simulated), the required maternal delivery force and neonatal BP strain decreased. A further decrease in both delivery force and neonatal BP strain was observed in the oblique position, with the lowest delivery force and neonatal BP strain reported during the posterior arm delivery maneuver. Data obtained from the improved computational models in this study enhance our understanding of the effects of clinical maneuvers on neonatal BP strain during complicated birthing scenarios such as shoulder dystocia.

Abstract Objective Evaluate the prevalence of macrosomic newborns (birth weight above 4000 grams) in a high-risk maternity from 2014 to 2019, as well as the maternal characteristics involved, risk factors, mode of delivery and associated outcomes, comparing newborns weighing 4000-4500 grams and those weighing above 4500 grams. Methods This is an observational study, case-control type, carried out by searching for data in hospital's own system and clinical records. The criteria for inclusion in the study were all patients monitored at the service who had newborns with birth weight equal than or greater than 4000 grams in the period from January 2014 to December 2019, being subsequently divided into two subgroups (newborns with 4000 to 4500 grams and newborns above 4500 grams). After being collected, the variables were transcribed into a database, arranged in frequency tables. For treatment and statistical analysis of the data, Excel and R software were used. This tool was used to create graphs and tables that helped in the interpretation of the results. The statistical analysis of the variables collected included both simple descriptive analyzes as well as inferential statistics, with univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results From 2014 to 2019, 3.3% of deliveries were macrosomic newborns. The average gestational age in the birth was 39.4 weeks. The most common mode of delivery (65%) was cesarean section. Diabetes mellitus was present in 30% of the deliveries studied and glycemic control was absent in most patients. Among the vaginal deliveries, only 6% were instrumented and there was shoulder dystocia in 21% of the cases. The majority (62%) of newborns had some complication, with jaundice (35%) being the most common. Conclusion Birth weight above 4000 grams had a statistically significant impact on the occurrence of neonatal complications, such as hypoglycemia, respiratory distress and 5th minute APGAR less than 7, especially if birth weight was above 4500 grams. Gestational age was also shown to be statistically significant associated with neonatal complications, the lower, the greater the risk. Thus, macrosomia is strongly linked to complications, especially neonatal complications.

Abstract Obstetric palsy is classically defined as the brachial plexus injury due to shoulder dystocia or to maneuvers performed on difficult childbirths. In the last 2 decades, several studies have shown that half of the cases of Obstetric palsy are not associated with shoulder dystocia and have raised other possible etiologies for Obstetric palsy. The purpose of the present study is to collect data from literature reviews, classic articles, sentries, and evidence-based medicine to better understand the events involved in the occurrence of Obstetric palsy. A literature review was conducted in the search engine PubMed (MeSH - Medical Subject Headings) with the following keywords: shoulder dystocia and obstetric palsy, completely open, boundless regarding language or date. Later, the inclusion criterion was defined as revisions. A total of 21 review articles associated with the themes described were found until March 8, 2018. Faced with the best available evidence to date, it is well-demonstrated that Obstetric palsy occurs in uncomplicated deliveries and in cesarean deliveries, and there are multiple factors that can cause it, relativizing the responsibility of obstetricians, nurses, and midwives. The present study aims to break the paradigms that associate Obstetric palsy compulsorily with shoulder dystocia, and that its occurrence necessarily implies negligence, malpractice or recklessness of the team involved.
Resumo A paralisia obstétrica é classicamente definida como a lesão do plexo braquial decorrente da distócia de ombros ou das manobras executadas no parto difícil. Nas 2 últimas décadas, vários estudos comprovaram que metade dos casos de paralisia obstétrica não estão associados à distócia de ombros e levantaram outras possíveis etiologias para a paralisia obstétrica. O objetivo do presente trabalho é colher dados da literatura de revisão, artigos clássicos, sentinelas e da medicina baseada em evidências para compreender melhor os eventos envolvidos na ocorrência de paralisia obstétrica. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura no motor de busca da PubMed (MeSH - Medical Subject Headings) com as seguintes palavras-chave: shoulder dystocia and obstetric palsy, completamente aberto, sem limites de língua ou data. Posteriormente, definimos como critério de inclusão artigos de revisão. Encontramos 21 artigos de revisão com associação dos temas descritos até 8 de março de 2018. Frente às melhores evidências existentes até o momento, está bem demonstrado que a paralisia obstétrica ocorre em partos não complicados e em partos cesáreos, e são múltiplos os fatores que podem causá-la, relativizando a responsabilidade de médicos obstetras, enfermeiras e parteiras. Procuramos, com o presente estudo, quebrar os paradigmas de que paralisia obstétrica se associa obrigatoriamente à distócia de ombros e que a sua ocorrência necessariamente implica em negligência, imperícia ou imprudência da equipe envolvida.

En el hospital Nacional de la Mujer como centro de tercer nivel de atención en salud, uno de sus funciones es garantizar un buen resultado materno perinatal en pacientes que consultan para la atención del parto, muchas veces durante el trabajo de parto ocurren situaciones como distocias dinámicas que no permiten el adecuado progreso de este, por lo cual hace necesario la utilización de oxitocina para mejorar la actividad uterina y poder garantizar un buen resultado materno- perinatal; muchas veces el uso inadecuado de esta puede poner en riesgo la salud de la madre y el feto, interfiriendo en la vía de finalización del parto y otras complicaciones que prolonga la estancia intrahospitalaria generando gastos extras a la institución. En el presente estudio se investigó, de manera retrospectiva, a través de revisión de expedientes clínicos, los resultados maternos- fetales así como la vía de finalización del embarazo en las pacientes en las cuales se utilizó oxitocina como conducción por distocia dinámica durante el trabajo de parto. Se incluyó solo embarazos únicos y de término; dentro de los resultados se obtuvo la detención de la fase activa como principal distocia dinámica para indicación de conducción con oxitocina durante el trabajo de parto. La principal indicación de evacuación vía abdominal fue deterioro fetal; la complicación materna más frecuente fue atonía uterina, la más severa fue hemorragia obstétrica severa que resolvieron con manejo médico. La mayoría de los recién nacidos fueron niño sano
