Résumé : |
The incidence of breech presentation at term pregnancy accounts for 3–4% of all births and is more common in preterm deliveries and in women who are nulliparous (Impey et al 2017).
Following the publication of the Term Breech Trial (TBT) conducted byHannah et al (2000)there was a significant reduction in the incidence of planned vaginal breech birth (VBB) (Impey et al 2017). The authors of the TBT recommended caesarean section (CS) as the safest mode of delivery for babies in the breech position after 37 weeks’ gestation (Hannah et al 2000). Maternal deaths have been recorded in women who have undergone CS for breech presentation in the time since this trial, and according to more recent evidence, criticisms have been justified (Hill 2019). Evidence shows that where strict criteria are met throughout pregnancy and birth, in places where VBB is common practice, this mode of delivery is safe and achievable and promotes feelings of control and autonomy for women delivering their babies (Dundas et al 2016). |
