Re: Shoulder Dystocia and the "all fours maneuver"

I have found that it is the movement that helps to dislodge the shoulder. I generally slip a bedpan under the patients before I turn on all fours and this has practically eliminated the need to do this. I feel real comfortable with shoulder dystocia-- can someone give me a magic cure for PP bleeding. It seems that my well nourished, healthy patients have terrible cases of atony.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
