It involves applying upward pressure from the coccygeal region to extend the head during actual delivery, thereby protecting the musculature of the perineum. In Ritgen maneuver the fetal chin is reached for between the anus and coccyx and pulled interiorly, while using the fingers of the other hand on the fetal occiput to control speed of delivery.
