External cephalic version (ECV) safely reduces risks associated with breech presentation at term. This outpatient procedure is highly successful without routine tocolysis, making it a recommended treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Fetal Medicine

Context:

  • External cephalic version (ECV) is a procedure to turn a fetus from a breech to a cephalic presentation before labor.
  • Intrapartum breech presentation increases risks of maternal and fetal complications and Cesarean delivery.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the success rate and safety of outpatient external cephalic version (ECV) performed without routine tocolysis.
  • To identify key criteria for successful ECV and assess the impact of tocolysis on outcomes.

Summary:

  • Over 800 ECVs were performed outpatient with a 60.5% success rate and no severe complications.
  • Sufficient amniotic fluid and fetal breech mobility are crucial for ECV success.
  • ECV can be safely performed without analgesics, sedatives, or routine tocolysis, with over 70% success without tocolysis.

Impact:

  • External cephalic version (ECV) is an effective and safe outpatient procedure for managing term breech presentation.
  • The findings support ECV as a recommended treatment option, minimizing the need for routine tocolysis and reducing potential complications.
