Explanation:

Shoulder dystocia is a specific case of dystocia in which, during a birth, there is a difficulty in the passage of the child's shoulder after the passage of his head through the pubic symphysis. It is diagnosed when there is no shoulder exit immediately after the fetal head is delivered. Shoulder dystocia is an obstetric emergency and fetal death may occur if the output is too long due to compression of the umbilical cord within the birth canal.

When shoulder dystocia occurs, certain circumstances should be documented in the medical printout as a risk management measure. Very important information to put in the medical record of shoulder dystocia cases is the time elapsed from the delivery of the fetal head to the full delivery of the baby.
