This review discusses the incidence, prevention, and documentation of neonatal brachial plexus injury in the context of shoulder dystocia.
Synthesizes evidence on NBPI in shoulder dystocia; leaves open optimal force thresholds and prevention efficacy for prospective validation.
Shoulder dystocia is a notorious Obstetrics nightmare which often results in serious fetal injuries. Neonatal brachial plexus injury (NBPI) is one of the major complications which can probably lead to legal litigation of the care providers. This article comprehensively reviews available literatures related to incidence of NBPI and its relation to the shoulder dystocia. The optimum force for delivery along with how to prevent NBPI in shoulder dystocia and appropriate documentation of the event is also discussed.
