- 15%
- 25%
Risk of brachial plexus injury
- W/o macrosomia
- W/ macrosomia
- 0.1%
2. 5%
Risk factors for macrosomia (6)
- h/o macrosomia
- excessive weight gain
- maternal obesity
- gest age > 40 wks
- pos 1hr GTT and neg 3 hr GTT
- DM
When is fetal macrosomia an indication for IOL
> 5000g, 4500g if diabetic
Medication to consider for shoulder dystocia
- onset
- duration
- SE
Nitroglycerine (50-100mcg)
onset- 30-90 sec
lasts 2-3 mins
SE: mild hypotension
Maneuvers to reduce shoulder dystocia
- Suprapubic pressure
- McRoberts maneuver
- Deliver Posterior arm
- Rubin Maneuver
- Woods corkscrew maneuver
- Episiotomy (only to make room for hand)
- Intentional clavicular fracture
- Zavanelli maneuver
- Symphysiotomy
- Laparotomy
Rubin Maneuver
- pressure on posterior of the most accessible shoulder
- rotate fetus <180 to dis-impact the shoulder from the symphysis
- decreases the bis-acromial diameter
Woods Corkscew maneuver
- pressure on the front of the posterior shoulder
- rotate fetus <180
- increases the bis-acromial diameter
Zavaneli Maneuver
cephalic replacement reverse cardinal movements of labor do c-section (consider tocolytic) LAST RESORT
Intentional Clavicular Fracture
Anterior fracture
Risks of Clavicular Fracture
Penumothrox
Hemothorax
Subclavian vessel injury
Brachial plexus injury
Erb’s Palsy
C5-C6 Arm hangs at side medially rotated Forearm extended & pronated Wrist flexed Grasp reflex intact (waiter's tip)
Klumpke’s Palsy
Flaccid Arm C8-T1 Hand & wrist paralysis arm hangs flaccidly at side Grasp reflex lost
Cardinal movements
- Engagement
- Descent
- Flexion
- Internal rotation
- Extension
- External rotation
- Expulsion
NPV for NST, CST, BPP, modified BPP, umbilical artery doppler
> 99.8%
PPV for NST
10%
Contraindications for ECV

Vaginal Breech Delivery Prerequisites
- Call for help (extra OB, pediatrician, nurse and anethesiologist)
- Have Piper forceps in delivery room
- Empty bladder & rectum
- Functional IV line
- Oxygen for mother
Vaginal Breech Delivery Motions
- Hands off, only apply rotational force to achieve backup position
- Deliver legs with Pinaud’s maneuver (pressure on popliteal fossa)
- Wrap body in towel
- Lovset’s maneuver for delivery of arms
(slide hand from back over shoulder, onto anterior surface of humerus, place pressure in cubital fossa & sweep arm over over chest to the side and out of the vagina - Wrap arms in body in towel
- Make sure the back rotates anteriorly (persistent back down=disaster for trapped head)
- Delivery of head
Delivery of Head in Vaginal Breech Delivery
- Suprapubic pressure (promote flexion)
- Bracht Maneuver (only after back of neck firmly tucked under symphysis pubis)-baby’s body is held against pubic symphysis
- Mauriceau-Smellie-Veit Maneuver
- Piper forceps for after-coming head
- Consider possible need for Duhrssen incision (2,6, and 10 o’clock)

w/ epi: 7mg/kg 0.5% (max 60cc)
w/o epi: 4mg/kg 0.5% w/o epi (max 30cc)
Side Effects of Epinepherine in order of increasing toxicity
