Overview Obstetri c brachial plexus injury (OBP) is a serious neonatal complication of shoulder dystocia whi ch may be associated with excessive tr action applied during delivery.' n recognition of th is, the Limbs & Things Force Monitoring System has been developed to create a better aw areness amongst obstetric medica l staff and trainees of the forces applied to th e baby du ring delivery. The system consists of an electronic st rain gauge within th e Force Monitoring Baby lin ked to a compute r via an nterface Unit. On commencing a shoulder dystocia drill the computer program will record and plot the force applied through the baby's neck on a graph, as well as the time taken during th e delivery. t also allows each step or 'intervention ' of the drill to be documented along the timeline as it is performed. Each drill can be saved to the computer and printed fo r trainee handouts at the end of a tra ining session. This is an ideal method for assessing the tra inee's performance, comparing different sessions conducted over time., Risk Facto rs for Shoulder Dystocia : an engineering study of clinician-applied forces Allen R, Sorab J. Gon ik B. Dept of Mech anical Engineering, University of Delaw are, New ark. Obstet Gynecol. 191 Mar ; 77 (3) :352-5 mportant information - Using the Product To incorporate this software eff ectively within a trai ning session you w ill require three people: an accoucheur (trainee), anot her to hold the baby in the Shoulder Dystocia position during delivery, and a computer operator. Performance of other scenarios such as normal, breech and instrumental deliveries can be recorded within the same program. Please note that only the use of th e timeline and interventions are relevant for these scenarios - the force monitoring only applies to shoulder dysto cia drills. Hardware and software setup Before running a drill see the qu ick setup guide in the PROM PT Birthing Simulator Force Monitoring product manual or the instructions on the back of the software case.
