Summary

Shoulder dystocia management in 49 cases showed that most deliveries were vaginal, with interventions like vacuum extraction and forceps. Fetal weight over 4,000g and prolonged labor were common risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics
  • Gynecology

Context:

  • This study examines 49 cases of shoulder dystocia over a decade (1975-1985) at Athens University's Second Gynecological and Obstetrics Department.
  • Shoulder dystocia cases were managed without Cesarean sections, focusing on vaginal delivery approaches.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the management and outcomes of shoulder dystocia cases.
  • To identify common risk factors associated with shoulder dystocia.

Summary:

  • Vaginal delivery was achieved in all 49 cases, with 23 normal deliveries, 20 utilizing vacuum extraction, and 6 requiring forceps.
  • Common obstetric manipulations included McRoberts, Jacquemier, Wood, Barnum, Hibbard, and Couder maneuvers.
  • Key risk factors identified were fetal weight over 4,000g (73.49%), maternal weight gain of 12kg (47%), multiparity (20%), prolonged second stage of labor (45%), and Class A diabetes (5 cases).
