The Journal of emergency medicine · 2005-03-17 · Case report
Abstract
Breech deliveries are the most common form of fetal malpresentations and are associated with significant risk for morbidity and mortality to mother and infant. There is an increased chance that emergency physicians may encounter breech deliveries as more women with known breech presentations are given the option for a trial of labor in lieu of mandatory caesarean section. Emergency physicians should be prepared for the complications that are associated with breech delivery and recognize the different maneuvers required to successfully deliver a breech infant.
