Value of External Version in Fetal Malpresentation in Combination with Use of Ultrasound
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1977Abstract. During 1969–1974 six hundred and forty‐nine external versions were attempted during the last trimester on 491 mothers with fetal malpresentation. the procedure was monitored with ultrasound in 1969–1974. Most of attempts (70.0%) were made during the 32nd–36th weeks.

Uterine Torsion and Fetal Bradycardia Associated With External Cephalic Version
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2006Torsion of the gravid uterus is a rare obstetric complication in humans, but has been reported in association with malpresentation and with uterine leiomyomata.We report a case of uterine torsion diagnosed at emergency cesarean delivery after external cephalic version with prolonged fetal bradycardia.Physicians should be aware of the possibility of ...

[Fetal version as ambulatory intervention].
Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde, 1996The external cephalic version (ECV) of the fetus at term reduces the maternal and fetal risks of intrapartum breech presentation and Caesarean delivery. Since 1986 over 800 external cephalic versions were performed in the outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Städtische Frauenklinik Stuttgart. 60.5% were successful.

Maternal and Fetal Factors Affecting Success of Antepartum External Cephalic Version
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1988We studied 172 patients who were considered for external cephalic version with tocolysis at term. Before a single attempt at version, a variety of maternal and fetal factors considered likely to affect success were coded for each patient. Maternal age, height, and Quetelet index did not affect success.

The outcomes and risk factors of fetal bradycardia associated with external cephalic version
The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2017The objective of this study is to assess the outcomes and risk factors of fetal bradycardia after external cephalic version (ECV).We performed a retrospective study of women who underwent ECV after 35 weeks of gestation in 2010-2016. We assessed the birth outcomes, including umbilical cord artery pH, according to the duration of fetal bradycardia and ...

Changes in fetal polarity near term—spontaneous and external version
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1965Abstract A careful study of 95 potential breech cases is reported, showing the marked advantages of using external version near a specified time. The infant in breech presentation in the primipara should be turned at 32 weeks; in the multipara, at 34 weeks, and routine version should be used there-after.

Observations of fetal heart rate characteristics related to external cephalic version and tocolysis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984External cephalic version performed in conjunction with tocolysis in the term breech presentation has been found to decrease the number of breech presentations at delivery and thus reduce the number of cesarean sections for breech presentation. However, information regarding the fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns associated with version is limited.

Fetal Complication After External Cephalic Version at Term: Case Report and Literature Review
Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 1999We report a case of fetal distress following external cephalic version at term, which resulted in delivery by emergency cesarean section of an anemic, acidemic infant. The characteristics of the fetal heart rate tracing, the clinical findings, and a positive Kleihauer-Betke test after delivery suggest that fetomaternal hemorrhage or placental abruption

Fetal acoustic stimulation as an adjunct to external cephalic version.
The Journal of reproductive medicine, 1996To evaluate fetal acoustic stimulation (FAS) as an adjunct to external cephalic version in a midline fetal spine presentation.Breech presentation in a woman presenting for attempted version at 37 weeks' gestation with a fetus in a midline position and the spine anterior is difficult to convert to a vertex.
