Cartoon of release maneuver in order to loosen a wedged leg in a complete breech presentation.
A) baby’s position in the pelvis when the mother lies on the back (only while clinical examination the mother will be placed on the back during birth in our center) B) The examiner grabs the lower foot with two fingers. C) The examiner pulls the leg out. D) Position of the baby after the maneuver. Figure published with the permission of the artist, Chloe Dolic.

Logistic regression of second stage with manual assistance in primipara Logistic regression analysis of all vaginal deliveries of primiparous women.
Display with inverse y axis in order to show graphical tendency of likelihood of manual assistance in relation to the duration of second stage. A) n = 241, logistic regression of duration of second stage to help with delivery of arms (Louwen maneuver) in frank breech vaginal deliveries, Odds ratio per minute: 1.0034, Chi2 over-all model test p = 0.0443 B) n = 241, logistic regression of duration of second stage to help with head delivery in frank breech vaginal deliveries, Odds ratio per minute: 1.0033, Chi2 over-all model test p = 0.0402 C) n = 71, logistic regression of duration of second stage to help with arm delivery in complete and incomplete breech vaginal deliveries; Odds ratio per minute: 1.0035, Chi2 over-all model test p = 0.2707 D) n = 71, logistic regression of duration of second stage to help with head delivery in complete and incomplete breech vaginal deliveries; Odds ratio per minute: 1.0011, Chi2 over-all model test p = 0.7059.
