All of the above
This is a case of a second gravida in labor with deep transverse arrest. The following is the probable management of this patient with deep transverse arrest. If her pelvis is adequate (and there is a determination of good fetal condition), the management may include:
1. Ventouse delivery
2. Manual rotation and application of foeceps
3. Forceps rotation and delivery
If there is cephalopelvic disproportion and/or a determination of "large baby", the probable management is a cesarean section.
