    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Breech presentation at term complicates delivery.
    • External cephalic version (ECV) is an intervention to convert breech to cephalic presentation before labor.
    • Intrapartum ECV is less studied than pre-labor ECV.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrapartum external cephalic version in patients with intact membranes and breech presentation at term.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective case series of 15 patients undergoing intrapartum ECV.
    • Patients had intact membranes and term breech presentation.
    • Success was defined as conversion to cephalic presentation.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Successful version was achieved in 11 out of 15 patients (73.3%).
    • No maternal or fetal complications were observed during or after the procedure.
    • The procedure was well-tolerated by the patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Intrapartum external cephalic version appears to be a feasible and safe option for selected term breech presentations with intact membranes.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm these findings in larger cohorts.
