Abstract

Shoulder dystocia is an obstetric emergency with severe complications. Our objective was to evaluate the major pitfalls in the diagnostics of shoulder dystocia, diagnostic descriptions documented in medical records, use of obstetric maneuvers, and their correlations to Erb’s and Klumpke’s palsy and the use of ICD-10 code 066.0.
