oxytocin and Paralysis--Obstetric

In our series of vaginal breech deliveries the morbidity from hypoxia and acidosis showed no difference to the same type of morbidity in our series of breech deliveries by Caesarean section. The correct selection of cases, intensive monitoring during labour and the management of the second stage of labour as outlined in our paper are the most important perequisites which permit to plan and justify a vaginal breech delivery in present obstetric practice.
