Visual Estimation of Force Applied During Simulated Deliveries Complicated by Shoulder Dystocia

Conclusion Observers are not able to determine when “excessive force” is used and are twice as likely to overestimate the force applied to a fetal head when an average amount of force is used and the delivery environment is stressful.
