The Management of Breech Presentation

All women with breech presentation at term, without contraindication to vaginal delivery, should be offered ECV by experienced personnel. If this is refused or unsuccessful, current evidence supports that caesarean section is the safest mode of delivery for breech presentation at term. The review details the evidence for this and the recommendations if caesarean section is refused or there is insufficient time. In addition, preterm and multiple pregnancy evidence is presented.
