Study to Evaluate is ECV Success is Improved and the Side Effects Reduced With the Use of IV NTGL Versus Terbutaline

Summary

Breech presentation of a term pregnancy is a common occurrence. A procedure known as external cephalic version (ECV) is frequently used by obstetricians to turn the baby into the vertex position prior to delivery in order to avoid a cesarean section and the associated risks. Medications to relax the uterus, known as tocolytics, are used in conjunction with the procedure as they have been shown to improve the success rate of ECV, but with inconsistent, varying results.
