Interventions for helping to turn term breech babies to head first presentation when using external cephalic version

Abstract

Interventions for helping to turn term breech babies to head first presentation when using external cephalic version.

Predictors of Cephalic Vaginal Delivery Following External Cephalic Version: An Eight-Year Single-Centre Study of 447 Cases

“…There were no statistically significant findings for either gestation, age, or tocolytic use on ECV success. This is consistent with other medical studies on ECV predictors internationally and in Australia (Cho et al 2012), [ 9 ]. Low AFI was found to be a statistically significant negative predictor of ECV.…”

External cephalic version outcomes with tocolysis and sedation: A 10‐year retrospective cohort study

“…To our knowledge, this is the largest known cohort evaluating ECV outcomes with consistent use of tocolysis and either deep sedation or spinal anesthesia. Our findings regarding the association of BMI, amniotic fluid volume, and placental location with ECV success are consistent with previous reports, 7 , 12 , 27 , 28 but are here confirmed in the specific context of a standardized protocol with systematic tocolysis and anesthesia support, providing a more precise estimate of their impact under an optimized strategy.…”

Ritodrine in external cephalic version: is it effective and safe?

“…We adjusted for these variables because they have previously been shown to impact ECV outcomes [ 5 , 13 , 14 ]. Our results are similar to those reported in previous studies investigating the use of ritodrine in ECV [ 7 , 8 , 15 ]. In a prospective controlled randomized, double-blind trial by Nor Azlin et al [ 8 ] ritodrine was effective in both nulliparous (34.4% vs. 13.0%) and multiparous women (87.5% vs. 57.1%).…”
