Abstract:
Nowadays, care for a breech delivery in the out-of-hospital environment through the vaginal route can be a frequent process caused by the change in the scientific literature favoring the free evolution of the delivery of a breech presentation compared to the previous literature where the Caesarean section scheduled at week 37 of gestation, avoiding its free evolution. Furthermore, among the statistical data consulted at the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadística), there is an increase in preterm deliveries outside the hospital, which increases the presentation of buttocks more frequently, between 25-32 weeks, around 42%. Therefore, the objective of this manuscript was to instruct the health professionals of the out-of-hospital emergency services in the event of imminent delivery in breech presentation. This type of training would consist of maintaining an expectant attitude during the expulsion period until the lower angle of the newborn's scapula is visible, followed by manual assistance by detaching the shoulders while gently and slowly removing the fetal head.
