Ultrasound Parameters for the Outcome Prediction of External Cephalic Version for Fetuses with Breech Presentation
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
This study aims to evaluate possible predictors for the successful od external cephalic version (ECV), a procedure that is indicated in your case due to breech presentation of your baby and your desire to avoid cesarean section. Before the procedure, a detailed ultrasound scan will be performed to measure several parameters. After the procedure we will collect data about the duration, outcome and eventual complications of ECV.

ultrasound
before ECV procedure, an ultrasound will be performed to evaluate * fetal biometry (BPD, HC, AC, FL, EFW); * Occiput position (right, left); * Back position (anterior, posterior, right, left); * Breech variant (footling, frank, complete); * Fetal leg posture (extended, flexed) * Placental localization; * Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI); * Fore-bag of amniotic fluid; * Eventual presence of nuchal cords; * Fetal head ballottement (yes, no); * Occiput-spine angle These parameters will be compared to find predictive factors for successful ECV
