Fear of Shoulder dystocia is one of the leading causes of cesarean birth. From big babies to long pushing phases, or even worries about post dates, fear can overshadow learning the practicalities for solving this emergent complication. In this presentation, Nicole Morales addresses normal rotations of the fetal shoulders while highlighting the places in the pelvis that the shoulders are most likely to get caught. We will review timing for action and introduce skills, resources, and maneuvers, including Gail Tully's FlipFLOP that could save a baby. |
