Intrapartum management of multiple gestation.
The intrapartum management of multiple gestation continues to challenge the obstetric profession. In general, attempted vaginal delivery is appropriate for vertex-vertex twins. The options of external version, breech delivery, and cesarean delivery are analyzed for vertex-nonvertex twins. Special considerations in the intrapartum management of multiple gestation include monoamniotic twins, conjoined twins, and triplet pregnancies.
