The Effect of Combined Spinal-Epidural Analgesia on the Success of External Cephalic Version (ECV) for Breech Position

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pregnancy, Breech Presentation

In brief

We aim to answer the clinical question: Does combined spinal-epidural analgesia improve the success rate of external cephalic version? We hypothesize that neuraxial analgesia (spinal or epidural analgesia) during version for breech presentation increases successful fetal rotation and decreases the incidence of Cesarean delivery for malpresentation.
