  • Title: [Tocolysis for external version of breech presentation close to term (authors transl)].
    Author: Müller-Holve W, Saling E.
    Journal: Z Geburtshilfe Perinatol; 1975 Feb; 179(1):24-9. PubMed ID: 1154815.
    Abstract:
    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.
