Cognitive aids such as checklists, algorithms, or protocols may improve clinical team response and management of shoulder dystocia. Such aids can provide clinical teams with an independent check on steps for facilitating a safe delivery by offering logic and a clear focus during what can often be a chaotic event.
For nurses specifically, managing shoulder dystocia includes: Alerting all appropriate members of the obstetric care team for situational awareness. Applying primary maneuvers. Assisting the provider as necessary with secondary maneuvers. Regularly communicating the time to the team.
However, most shoulder dystocia are unpredictable. Management includes calling for help, stopping maternal pushing, first-line McRoberts maneuver with or without suprapubic pressure, followed by second-line internal maneuvers.
Announce unequivocally that there is a shoulder dystocia when it occurs. Elevate both knees to the chest (McRoberts maneuver) as the first therapeutic maneuver during shoulder dystocia. Consider posterior arm delivery if McRoberts maneuver and suprapubic pressure are unsuccessful.
