Rubin's I and II maneuvers, rotational maneuver to deliver the baby in case of shoulder dystocia. [1]The Rubin's I maneuver is dislodging the anterior shoulder under pubic symphysis by adding suprapubic pressure while in the McRoberts' position.
McRoberts maneuver (1) in combination with suprapubic pressure (2) The McRoberts maneuver is an obstetrical maneuver used to assist in childbirth.It is named after William A. McRoberts, Jr. [1] It is employed in case of shoulder dystocia during childbirth and involves hyperflexing the mother's legs tightly to her abdomen.
The combined neck flexion, traction on the fetus toward the hip/pelvis, and the suprapubic pressure on the mother/uterus allows for delivery of the head of a breech infant, granted prior breech delivery steps are followed and the infant's occipitus is rotated/facing anteriorly relative to the mother.
Shoulder dystocia occurs after vaginal delivery of the head, when the baby's anterior shoulder is obstructed by the mother's pubic bone. [3] [1] It is typically diagnosed when the baby's shoulders fails to deliver despite gentle downward traction on the baby's head, requiring the need of special techniques to safely deliver the baby.

Urinary retention in females is uncommon, occurring 1 in 100,000 every year, with a female-to-male incidence rate of 1:13. It is usually transient. The causes of UR in women can be multi-factorial, and can be postoperative and postpartum. Prompt urethral catheterization usually resolves the problem. [17]
Wood's screw maneuver is practiced in obstetrics when dealing with shoulder dystocia – a condition in which the fetal shoulders cannot easily pass through the vagina.In this maneuver the anterior shoulder is pushed towards the baby's chest, and the posterior shoulder is pushed towards the baby's back, [1] making the baby's head somewhat face the mother's rectum.
The pressure in the hydraulic circuit is generated by the elastic balloon reservoir and from retropubic pressure. [1] [2] The artificial urinary sphincter with a spring (2-component): cuff and pump unit. [3] [4] The cuff is placed around the urethra and the pump unit is inserted in the scrotum. The pressure in the hydraulic circuit is generated ...
Still facing the woman, the health care provider palpates the abdomen with gentle but also deep pressure using the palm of the hands. First the right hand remains steady on one side of the abdomen while the left hand explores the right side of the woman's uterus. This is then repeated using the opposite side and hands.
