Maternal and neonatal complications of shoulder dystocia with a focus on obstetric maneuvers: A case –control study of 1103 deliveries

ConclusionsThe increased use of obstetric maneuvers during the study period was associated with decreasing rates of neonatal complications; conversely, the lack of obstetric maneuvers was associated with the highest rate of neonatal complications. These emphasize the importance of education, maneuver training and urgently performing shoulder dystocia maneuvers according to the international protocol guidelines.
