. A treatise on obstetrics for students and practitioners . Bringing the head on the pelvic floor in delayed hreech birth. (Faraboeuf and Vakniee.) Fig. Ill. Traction in the groin ; delayed breech labor. (Faraboeuf and Vaenieb.) BREECH LABOR AND ITS MANAGEMENT. 229 child can endure not longer than five or ten minutes after the birth ofthe body and the retention of the head, if these measures are unsuc-cessful, the mother will be best protected by craniotomy. Many methods of delivery of the after-comiug head are described,but those mentioned have borne the test of experience and are success-ful in the great majority of cases. It occasionally happens in the course of breech labor that complica-tions arise by reason of an arm or leg which may be bent backwardacross the body or in front across the face of the child. When delayoccurs in labor from these causes, if the legs and thighs be flexed uponthe body of the child, the breech can usually be brought down by hook-ing a finger into the groin and making traction with the pains.
