Definition of Shoulder Dystocia
Occurs during the second stage of labor, once thefetal head has been delivered
Baby’s anterior shoulder becomes trapped underthe maternal pubic bone; preventing furtherdescent & birth
Posterior shoulder can become trapped on thesacrum
Prolonged head-to-body delivery time (>60seconds)

Definition of Shoulder Dystocia
Delivery that requires additional obstetricmaneuvers following failure of gentledownward traction on the fetal head to effectdelivery of the shoulders
0.5-1.5% of births affected in the U.S.
Significant amount of Obstetrical malpracticesuits; second only to neurologic damage due tobirth asphyxia

Fetal head retracts back against the mother's perineum after it emerges from the vagina
The baby's cheeks bulge out, resembling a turtle pulling its head back into its shell
Retraction of the fetal head caused by the baby's anteriorshoulder being caught on the back of the maternal pubicbone, preventing delivery of the remainder of the baby

Sharp ventral rotation of both maternal hips brings the pelvic inlet and outlet into a more vertical alignment, facilitating delivery of the fetal shoulders

This tends to nudge the shoulder into a more oblique orientation, which in general provides more room for the shoulder.
Rubin technique in which fingers, a palm, or fist are applied in an oblique manner posterior against the anterior shoulder in a somewhat lateral direction (toward the direction of the face)
Rubin technique-Suprapubic pressure

Avoid overzealous traction and pressure on the fundus, as this will only increase the impaction
Danger of further entrapment, uterine rupture, hemorrhageor fetal injury
Fundal pressure and traction

Get the woman into a hands and knees position-this will also change the diameters of her pelvis, though is may be a bit difficult with dense epidural anesthesia
Average time to move mother & complete delivery is 2-3minutes

Wood's Screw maneuver involves the progressive
Rotation of shoulders
rotation of the posterior shoulder in corkscrew fashion to release the opposite impacted anterior shoulder. In its classic description, pressure is applied on the posterior shoulder's anterior surface
Rubin's maneuver involves pushing on the posterior surface of the posterior shoulder. In addition to the corkscrew effect, pressure on the posterior shoulder has the advantage of flexing the shoulders across the chest. This decreases the distance between the shoulders, thus decreasing the dimension that must fit out through the pelvis.
