    Author: Shan JZ.
    Journal: Zhonghua Fu Chan Ke Za Zhi; 1989 Mar; 24(2):76-80, 123. PubMed ID: 2758909.
    Abstract:
    From October 1986 to March 1988, 669 women of 30-40 weeks gestation with breech presentation subjected to improved cephalic version were presented. Using the Doppler sound detector to screen out contraindication, external cephalic version and/or bimanual cephalic version were done one hour after oral administration of 4.8 mg Salbutamol (relaxant of uterine). 647 cases out of 669 gravidae (96.71%) turned out to be successful. This procedure seems to be a simple, save and effective may to lower the incidence of breech presentation and cesarean section rate as well as the perinatal mortality rate of breech presentations.
