Breech Presentation: Successful Delivery with Forceps

New MRI Criteria for Successful Vaginal Breech Delivery in Primiparae

BACKGROUND Even if lower vaginal delivery success rates and impaired neonatal short-term outcomes have been reported for primiparous women with breech presentation, vaginal breech delivery remains an option for carefully selected patients. Because Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvimetry can provide additional information on maternal pelvic morphology, we sought to identify new MRI parameter...

SOGC clinical practice guideline on vaginal delivery of breech presentation.

OBJECTIVES To review the physiology of breech birth; to discern the risks and benefits of a trial of labour versus planned Caesarean section; and to recommend to obstetricians, family physicians, midwives, obstetrical nurses, anaesthesiologists, pediatricians, and other health care providers selection criteria, intrapartum management parameters, and delivery techniques for a trial of vaginal br...

Delivery of breech presentation infants at term. An analysis of 304 breech-deliveries.

304 breech presentation infants greater than or equal to 2.500 g were delivered at the University Women's Clinic, Kiel, between 1984 and 1987. Only 2 of the vaginally delivered infants died; both had severe malformations sonographically diagnosed prior to delivery. The umbilical cord arterial PH was found to be significantly (p less than 0.001) higher in infants delivered per Caesarean Section ...

Neonatal genital trauma associated with breech presentation.

Is a breech presentation at term more frequent in women with a history of cesarean delivery?

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether breech presentation at term is more common among women with at least 1 previous cesarean delivery. STUDY DESIGN This historic cohort study (n = 84,688) included women with a singleton term pregnancy and at least 1 previous delivery. Results were expressed as crude relative risks and adjusted odds ratios. RESULTS While 2.46% of wom...
