What is another word for shoulder presentation?
Pronunciation: [ʃˈə͡ʊldə pɹˌɛzəntˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Shoulder presentation, common in childbirth, is when the baby's shoulder presents first rather than their head. This can cause potential complications during labor and delivery. Therefore, it is important to properly identify and manage shoulder presentations. There are several synonyms used to describe shoulder presentation, including oblique lie, transverse lie, and breech presentation. Each of these terms describes the position of the baby in the uterus and can pose risks for both the mother and baby. Proper management and intervention can help ensure a successful delivery and avoid potential adverse outcomes. Healthcare providers should be trained to identify these presentations and manage them in an efficient and safe way.
