Brief Summary:
This study evaluates the potential benefits of spinal anaesthesia for nulliparous mothers scheduled for external version of babies in breech position.
Detailed Description:
Fetuses in breech position are almost always delivered by Caesarian section (CS). If the fetus is in breech position by the end of pregnancy, attempts for external cephalic version (ECV) are usually made. The success rate of ECV in nulliparous women is lower than in multiparous women. There are studies showing a higher rate of successful ECV's if the mother received a low dose spinal anaesthesia (SA). Overall maternal satisfaction was higher with SA. These studies, however, did not take parity into account.
The primary aim of this study is to see if SA can increase the rate of successful ECV's in nulliparous women.
The secondary aims are to evaluate if maternal satisfaction increases and if the rate of CS is decreasing using SA during ECV.
