The modified Prague maneuver is a procedure used to deliver a baby in a breech presentation when other methods are not possible:
With one hand, hold the baby's body
With the other hand, raise the baby's lower limbs
Rotate the baby around the mother's symphysis pubis
The goal of this maneuver is to flex the baby's head so it can be delivered.
The modified Prague maneuver is used when the back of the fetus is not rotated to the front. Other methods that can be used to rotate the back include applying stronger traction to the baby's legs or pelvis.

The Pinard maneuver is a procedure that helps deliver a baby's legs during a vaginal breech delivery:
Insert two fingers into the popliteal fossa of the anterior leg
Flex the leg at the hip while pushing it away from the midline
Grasp the ankle and bring it down
The Pinard maneuver is used when the baby's feet are difficult to reach, such as in a frank breech presentation. In this presentation, the baby's hips are flexed and their knees are extended, placing their feet near the bottom of the uterus.
After the Pinard maneuver, the baby should be supported in a prone position with a dry towel wrapped around their pelvis.

The Mauriceau-Smellie-Viet (MSV) maneuver is a technique used to deliver a baby's head during a breech birth. It involves encouraging the fetal head to flex so it can be safely delivered.
Here's how the MSV maneuver is performed:
Place one hand above the baby, with one finger on the occiput and one on each shoulder.
Place the other hand below the baby, supporting it with two fingers on the maxillae.
Apply firm downward traction until the chin is visible.
Elevate the fetal body upward in an arc to complete the delivery.
The original MSV maneuver is not often used in modern obstetrics because putting a finger in the baby's mouth can dislocate the jaw or cause a spgmentum.
