There are several prognostic factors described in literature for external cephalic version success and prediction scores have been proposed, but their true implication in clinical practice is controversial. We aim to identify possible factors tha...
متن کاملA prospective randomised controlled trial of external cephalic version comparing two methods of uterine tocolysis with a non-tocolysis group.
The use of tocolvtic agents to enhance uterine relaxation and facilitate external cephalic version (ECV) has come under recent debate. We studied 90 breech presentations in late pregnancy who did not have contra-indications to ECV.

متن کاملTocolysis for repeat external cephalic version in breech presentation at term: a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.
BACKGROUND External cephalic version (ECV) reduces the incidence of breech presentation at term and caesarean section for non-cephalic births. Tocolytics may improve success rates, but are time consuming, may cause side effects and have not been proven to alter caesarean section rates. The aim of this trial was to determine whether tocolysis should be used if ECV is being re-attempted after a f...
