Proper protection of the skull by hand. The method is used in the second stage of labour. It is extremely important to protect the fetal skull in the cavity. Therefore the method can only be applied under the protection of the other hand. (1) Check and protect the skull with a gloved hand in the vagina. (2) Make sure the tip of the needle is about 1 cm deep from the vaginal wall—so the medicine you inject is not too superficial.
