Description of CME Course

Shoulder dystocia (SD) is a sudden and unpredictable obstetrical emergency and a significant cause of obstetric claims. Updates and additional research outlined in ACOG’s Practice Bulletin #178 offer an appropriate approach to identifying populations at-risk, SD risk factors, and managing SD. Practitioners are encouraged to implement these changes into their clinical practice to improve patient safety and to limit malpractice risk. This is part six of a six part series to help providers be better prepared when this adverse event occurs and offers strategies to mitigate risk.
