Breech presentation in labour may be associated with adverse outcomes for the fetus, which has contributed to an increased likelihood of caesarean birth. The committee therefore agreed that cephalic presentation in labour and method of birth were critical outcomes for the woman, and admission to SCBU/NICU, fetal death after 36<sup>+0</sup> weeks gestation, and infant death up to 4 weeks chronological age were critical outcomes for the baby. Apgar score &#x0003c;7 at 5 minutes and birth before 39<sup>+0</sup> weeks of gestation were important outcomes for the baby.</p></div><div id="niceng201er13.s1.1.11.1.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The quality of the evidence for interventions for managing a longitudinal lie fetal malpresentation (that is breech presentation) in late pregnancy ranged from very low to high, with most of the evidence being of a very low or low quality.</p><p>This was predominately due to serious overall risk of bias in some outcomes; imprecision around the effect estimate in some outcomes; indirect population in some outcomes; and the presence of serious heterogeneity in some outcomes, which was unresolved by subgroup analysis. The majority of included studies had a small sample size, which contributed to imprecision around the effect estimate.</p><p>No evidence was identified to inform the outcomes of infant death up to 4 weeks chronological age and birth before 39<sup>+0</sup> weeks of gestation.</p><p>There was no publication bias identified in the evidence. However, the committee noted the influence pharmacological developers may have in these trials as funders, and took this into account in their decision making.</p></div><div id="niceng201er13.s1.1.11.1.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><div id="niceng201er13.s1.1.11.1.3.1"><h5>ECV</h5><p>The committee discussed that in the case of breech presentation, a discussion with the woman about the different options and their potential benefits, harms and implications is needed to ensure an informed decision. The committee discussed that some women may prefer a breech vaginal birth or choose an elective caesarean birth, and that her preferences should be supported, in line with shared decision making.</p><p>The committee discussed that external cephalic version is standard practice for managing breech presentation in uncomplicated singleton pregnancies at or after 36+0 weeks. The committee discussed that there could be variation in the success rates of ECV based on the experience of the healthcare professional providing the ECV. There was some evidence supporting the use of ECV for managing a breech presentation in late pregnancy. The evidence showed ECV had a clinically important benefit in terms of cephalic presentations in labour and cephalic vaginal deliveries, when compared to no intervention. The committee noted that the evidence suggested that ECV was not harmful to the baby, although the effect estimate was imprecise relating to the relative rarity of the fetal death as an outcome.</p><p>Cephalic (head-down) vaginal birth is preferred by many women and the evidence suggests that external cephalic version is an effective way to achieve this. The evidence suggested ECV increased the chance for a cephalic vaginal birth and the committee agreed that it was important to explain this to the woman during her consultation.</p><p>The committee discussed the optimum timing for ECV. Timing of ECV must take into account the likelihood of the baby turning naturally before a woman commences labour and the possibility of the baby turning back to a breech presentation after ECV if it is done too early. The committee noted that in their experience, current practice was to perform ECV at 37 gestational weeks. The majority of the evidence demonstrating a benefit of ECV in this review involved ECV performed around 37 gestational weeks, although the review did not look for studies directly comparing different timings of ECV and their relative success rates.</p><p>The evidence in this review excluded women with previous complicated pregnancies, such as those with previous caesarean section or uterine surgery. The committee discussed that a previous caesarean section indicates a complicated pregnancy and that this population of women are not the focus of this guideline, which concentrates on women with uncomplicated pregnancies.</p><p>The committee&#x02019;s recommendations align with other NICE guidance and cross references to the <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng192/chapter/Recommendations#planned-caesarean-birth" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NICE guideline on caesarean birth</a> and the section on <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng121/chapter/Recommendations#breech-presenting-in-labour" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">breech presenting in labour in the NICE guideline on intrapartum care for women with existing medical conditions or obstetric complications and their babies</a> were made.</p></div><div id="niceng201er13.s1.1.11.1.3.2"><h5>ECV combined with pharmacological agents</h5><p>There were some small studies comparing a variety of pharmacological agents (including &#x003b2;2 agonists, Ca<sup>2+</sup> channel blockers, &#x000b5;-receptor agonists and nitric oxide donors) given alongside ECV. Overall the evidence typically showed no clinically important benefit of adding any pharmacological agent to ECV except in comparisons with a control arm with no ECV where it was not possible to isolate the effect of the ECV versus the pharmacological agent. The evidence tended toward benefit most for &#x003b2;2 agonists and &#x000b5;-receptor agonists however there was no consistent or high quality evidence of benefit even for these agents. The committee agreed that although these pharmacological agents are used in practice, there was insufficient evidence to make a recommendation supporting or refuting their use or on which pharmacological agent should be used.</p><p>The committee discussed that the evidence suggesting &#x000b5;-receptor agonist, remifentanil, had a clinically important benefit in terms reducing breech vaginal births after unsuccessful ECV was biologically implausible. The committee noted that this pharmacological agent has strong sedative effects, depending on the dosage, and therefore studies comparing it to a placebo had possible design flaws as it would be obvious to all parties whether placebo or active drug had been received. The committee discussed that the risks associated with using remifentanil such as respiratory depression, likely outweigh any potential added benefit it may have on managing breech presentation.</p><p>There was some evidence comparing different anaesthetics together with ECV. Although there was little consistent evidence of benefit overall, one small study of low quality showed a combination of 2% lidocaine and epinephrine via epidural catheter (anaesthesia) with ECV showed a clinically important benefit in terms of cephalic presentations in labour and the method of birth. The committee discussed the evidence and agreed the use of anaesthesia via epidural catheter during ECV was uncommon practice in the UK and could be expensive, overall they agreed the strength of the evidence available was insufficient to support a change in practice.</p></div><div id="niceng201er13.s1.1.11.1.3.3"><h5>Postural management</h5><p>There was limited evidence on postural management as an intervention for managing breech presentation in late pregnancy, which showed no difference in effectiveness. Postural management was defined as &#x02018;knee-chest position for 15 minutes, 3 times a day&#x02019;. The committee agreed that in their experience women valued trying interventions at home first which might make postural management an attractive option for some women, however, there was no evidence that postural management was beneficial. The committee also noted that in their experience postural management can cause notable discomfort so it is not an intervention without disadvantages.</p></div></div></div><div id="niceng201er13.s1.1.11.2"><h5>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>A systematic review of the economic literature was conducted but no relevant studies were identified which were applicable to this review question.</p><p>The committee&#x02019;s recommendations to offer external cephalic version reinforces current practice. The committee noted that, compared to no intervention, external cephalic version results in clinically important benefits and that there would also be overall downstream cost savings from lower adverse events. It was therefore the committee&#x02019;s view that offering external cephalic version is cost effective and would not entail any resource impact.</p></div></div><div id="niceng201er13.s1.1.rl.r1"><h4>References</h4><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng201er13.s1.1.ref1"><p id="p-678">
