Shoulder Dystocia Risk Score and Maneuver Algorithm

Calculate macrosomia-based shoulder dystocia risk and apply systematic maneuver sequence: McRoberts + suprapubic pressure, Rubin II, Woods screw, posterior arm delivery, Zavanelli. Higher EFW and maternal diabetes increase risk.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
