Background: This study aimed to assess frequency and causes of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions in neonates with shoulder dystocia (SD).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 116 SD cases at a tertiary perinatal center was performed (2007 - 2023). Maternal and neonatal parameters were evaluated in relation to NICU admission.
Results: Seventeen neonates (14.7%) were admitted to the NICU. All showed respiratory distress; five required cardiopulmonary resuscitation, two of them received therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Compared to non-admitted infants, NICU neonates had significantly lower umbilical artery pH and base deficit, lower Apgar scores, and higher rate of birth injuries. They also had a significantly longer median head-to-body delivery interval (HBDI, 5.0 vs. 2.0 minutes, p < 0.0001). No neonatal deaths occurred before discharge.
Conclusion: SD can lead to severe postnatal adaptation problems in newborns, requiring timely and structured interdisciplinary management. Our findings suggest that a HBDI of ≥ five minutes serve as a clinically applicable parameter to identify neonates at increased risk of NICU admission and appears to be associated with a higher likelihood of brachial plexus injury. Furthermore, greater fetal size, reflected by higher birth weight and body surface area, was related to the occurrence of birth injuries overall, underscoring the relevance of both extraction time and fetal dimensions for postnatal outcomes after SD.
背景:本研究旨在评估肩难产(SD)新生儿入住新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)的频率和原因。方法:对2007 - 2023年在某三级围产中心就诊的116例SD患者进行回顾性分析。评估与新生儿重症监护病房入院有关的产妇和新生儿参数。结果:新生儿17例(14.7%)入住NICU。所有患者均出现呼吸窘迫;5例需要心肺复苏,其中2例因缺氧缺血性脑病接受了低温治疗。与未入院的婴儿相比,新生儿的脐带动脉pH值和基础缺陷明显降低,Apgar评分较低,出生损伤率较高。他们的头到身体的中位分娩间隔(HBDI, 5.0 vs. 2.0分钟)也明显更长。p结论:SD可导致新生儿严重的产后适应问题,需要及时和结构化的跨学科管理。我们的研究结果表明,HBDI≥5分钟可作为临床适用的参数,用于识别新生儿进入新生儿重症监护病房的风险增加,并且似乎与臂丛神经损伤的可能性增加有关。此外,更大的胎儿尺寸,反映在更高的出生体重和体表面积上,总体上与出生损伤的发生有关,强调了提取时间和胎儿尺寸与SD后出生结局的相关性。
