  • send · D2 - S13

    Even though there is the benefit of reduction in shoulder dystocia with induction of labor, there is no proven benefit of reduction to the rate of BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURY, which is damage to the network of nerves that send signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm and hand of the baby.
