title: [External cephalic version: 1 year study in a level 3 maternity].
abstract: METHODS
  Observational and retrospective study, from February 1, 2007 until February 29, 2008. All fetal versions cases in the Edouard-Herriot hospital's maternity have been studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Seventy-eight cases were recorded: 19 were successful (24.4%) and 59 unsuccessful. Eighty-four per cent of fetus with success were born by vaginal delivery, and 16% by cesarean section. After unsuccessfully version, 11 women (19%) have vaginal delivery (nine breech presentations). There were no differences in the version's result in front of parity, gestational age, operator, placental location and amniotic fluid index.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Low success rate seems to be related to inadapted tocolytic. A follow-up study concerning the type of tocolyse would be interesting to bring to light a possible improvement. The small number of cases not having allowed to obtain significant results, study with large scale would be also necessary before envisaging a modification of the service protocol.
