Shoulder dystocia with brachial plexus injury: merit screen
Term delivery complicated by shoulder dystocia; the infant has a permanent brachial plexus injury. The family says the nurse was alone at the bedside for the last 40 minutes of the second stage and the provider arrived late. We need a labor and delivery nurse to tell us whether the nursing care, monitoring and escalation met the standard before we decide whether to take the case.
