AB  - Shoulder  dystocia  is  a  rare  obstetric  emergency  placing  the  mother  and  the  fetus  at  risk  for  significant  morbidity  and  mortality.  It  is  diagnosed  when  after  delivery  of  the  fetal  head  further  expulsion  of  the  fetus  is  prevented  by  impaction  of  the  fetal  shoulders  within  the  maternal  pelvis  (Figure  164-1).1Shoulder  dystocia  is  considered  an  emergent  situation.  The  Emergency  Physician  must  be  able  to  recognize  the  condition  and  quickly  respond.  The  goal  is  to  deliver  the  fetus  as  quickly  as  possible  using  safe  maneuvers  and  documenting  the  chain  of  events.
