Ever wondered what you’d do if a breech baby or shoulder dystocia showed up in your ED tonight? This hands-on, small-group workshop is designed specifically for emergency physicians and offers a relaxed, no-judgment environment to practice high-stakes, low-frequency vaginal delivery complications. We’ll walk through breech delivery techniques, shoulder dystocia maneuvers, and decision-making under pressure—no OB residency required. Come ready to learn, get your hands on the models, and leave feeling more prepared for when the unexpected arrives!

Learning Objectives:

  • Demonstrate the key maneuvers for safely managing a breech vaginal delivery in the emergency department
  • Perform evidence-based techniques to resolve shoulder dystocia during precipitous delivery
  • Increase confidence and preparedness in managing unplanned, precipitous vaginal deliveries in the ED setting
