Practice Bulletin No. 161 Summary: External Cephalic Version.

In the United States, there is a widespread belief that the overall cesarean delivery rate is higher than necessary.

Because breech presentations are associated with a high rate of cesarean delivery, there is renewed interest in techniques such as external cephalic version (ECV) and vaginal breech delivery.
