Strategies to improve management of shoulder dystocia under the AHRQ Safety Program for Perinatal Care.
The purpose of this study using TeamSTEPPS was to assess the implementation of safety strategies to improve management of births complicated by shoulder dystocia in labor and delivery units. Results suggested that successful management of shoulder dystocia requires a rapid, standardized, and coordinated response. The Safety Program for Perinatal Care strategies to increase safety of shoulder dystocia management are scalable, replicable, and adaptable to unit needs and circumstances.

Clinical management of women with monogenic diabetes during pregnancy.
This study discusses clinical management of women with monogenic diabetes during pregnancy. Monogenic diabetes is rare and only accounts for 1-2% of all diabetes cases so it is frequently misdiagnoses as one of the other diabetes types. Diabetes treatment is different for this type of diabetes, and if untreated can cause fetal mutations. However, if treated there can be transplacental transfer of the medication (sulfonylurea). The study authors recommend large prospective studies be conducted to better define the need and timing of initiation of insulin treatment.
