    Obstetricians often face undiagnosed breech fetuses during labor. Rapid data acquisition and a management plan are crucial for healthy newborn delivery, with Cesarean section as the safest option when information is lacking.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Breech presentation occurs in a significant percentage of pregnancies.
    • Diagnosis of breech presentation is often delayed until labor commences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline management protocols for breech presentation during labor.
    • To emphasize the importance of rapid data acquisition for optimal fetal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of management strategies for term and preterm breech fetuses.
    • Emphasis on data collection and rapid decision-making.

    Main Results:

    • Established management protocols can lead to healthy newborn deliveries in most cases.
    • Cesarean section is recommended when critical management information is unavailable.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of breech presentation requires prompt data evaluation and a clear plan.
    • Cesarean delivery remains the safest approach in ambiguous situations to ensure fetal well-being.
