[Tocolysis for external version of breech presentation close to term (authors transl)].
The external version of breech presentation into vertex presentation with tocolysis near term is now the best method to avoid the disadvantages of a breech presentation for mother and child. In 30 out of 37 cases external version using Partusisten was possible. 26 patients with previous breech presentation were, after version, delivered of a healthy child. Except for one transitory slight hemorrhage there were no incidents. This method should be carried out only in a department having facilities for cardiotocography and emergency Caesarian section. It appears that a cause of failur of the external version with tocolysis near term is the breech presentation with extended legs.
