    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study shows that external cephalic version, using Salbutamol, successfully converted breech presentations in 96.71% of cases. This method effectively reduces cesarean sections and perinatal mortality for breech births.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Context:

    • Breech presentation complicates approximately 3-4% of term pregnancies.
    • High rates of cesarean delivery and associated perinatal mortality are linked to breech presentation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an improved external cephalic version (ECV) technique for term breech presentation.
    • To assess the impact of ECV on reducing cesarean section rates and perinatal mortality.

    Summary:

    • A prospective study involved 669 women with term breech presentation (30-40 weeks gestation).
    • External cephalic version was performed one hour after oral administration of 4.8 mg Salbutamol, with Doppler ultrasound used for contraindication screening.
    • The procedure achieved a success rate of 96.71% (647 out of 669 cases).

    Impact:

    • This improved ECV technique offers a simple, safe, and effective method to manage term breech presentations.
    • Successful ECV can significantly lower the incidence of cesarean deliveries.
    • The intervention has the potential to reduce perinatal mortality associated with breech presentation.
