Shoulder dystocia with brachial plexus injury: merit screen
Labor & delivery
Brief
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.
What we need
- Short written merit opinion on the nursing care
- Timeline of the second stage of labor and every provider notification
- List of missing records to request
Records
Prenatal record, labor and delivery chart, fetal monitoring strip (PDF), newborn chart.
On a real case, records open in the encrypted workspace only to the consultant the firm hires.
