Right Pubic Symphysis Shoulder Dystocia - Brachial Plexus Stretched - Maneuvers Release the Shoulder
Animation of the mother and baby during delivery as the baby's shoulder becomes impacted on the mother's pubic symphysis. Maternal forces continue to push the baby down the birth canal resulting in a stretching of the baby's brachial plexus nerves. A healthcare professional perfroms an episiotomy, places the mother in McRobert's position, applies suprapubic pressure, successfully performs the Rubin's II maneuver, freeing the shoulder and allowing for delivery of the baby.
