METHOD OF PREDICTING SHOULDER DYSTOCIA IN CASE OF FOETUS MACROSOMIA Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: direct size between the most distant points of a presenting segment of the foetus head at the level of the sagittal plane, large transverse size of the foetus head between the most distant points of the parietal tubers, transverse size of the shoulders between the most distant points of the acromial processes and the anteroposterior size of the foetus chest at the level of VII thoracic vertebra and the base of the xiphoid process are determined. A probability coefficient of the foetus shoulder dystocia is calculated by a mathematic formula. Development of the foetus shoulder dystocia is made on the basis of the obtained coefficient value.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to predict the development of the foetus shoulder dystocia due to the evaluation of the significant ultrasonic indices in the foetus.
