5. MEDICATION:
BREECH PRESENTATION:
INTRODUCTION:
It is the commonest malpresentation.in breech presentation the lie is longitudinal, podalic pole present
in pelvic brim, presenting diameter is bitrochantric and the denominator is sacrum. A breech birth
is the birth of a baby from a
breech presentation. In the breech presentation theb a b y e n t e r s t h e b i r t h c a n a l w i t h t h e b u t t o c
k o r f e e t f i r s t a s o p p o s e d t o t h e n o r m a l h e a d f i r s t presentation.
INCIDENCE:
The incidence is about 1 in 5 at 28th week and drops to 5% at 34th week and to3% in term. Thus in 3 out of 4
spontaneous corrections into vertex presentation occur by 34th week because the greater proportion of amniotic
fluid facilitates free movement of fetus. The incidence is expected to be low in hospital where high parity
birth are minimal and routine external cephalic version is done in antenatal period.
TYPES:
• Complete
• Incomplete
Complete
The normal attitude of full flexion is maintained. The thighs are flexed at the hips and the legs at the knee. The
presentating part consists of two buttocks, external genitalia and two feet. It commonly present in multipara
(10%).
Incomplete
This is due to varying degree of extension of thighs or legs at the podalic pole. Three varieties are possible
(25%).
In this condition, the thighs are flexed on the trunk and legs are extended knee joint. The presenting part
consists of the two buttocks and external genitalia only. It is commonly present in primigravida, about 70%. The
increase prevalence in primigravida is due to a tight uterine tone and early engagement of breech that inhibits
flexion of the legs and free turning of the fetus.
Footling Breech
Both the thigh and the legs are partially extended bringing the legs to present at the brim. This is rare condition.
Knee presentation
Thighs are extended but the knees are flexed, bringing the knees down to present at the brim. This is very rare.
In addition to the above, breech births in which the sacrum is the fetal denominator can be classified by the
position of a fetus. Thus sacro-anterior, sacro-transverse and sacro-posterior positions all exist, of which sacro-
anterior indicates an easier delivery.
Clinical varieties:
In an attempt to find out the dangers inherent to breech, breech presentation is clinically classified as:
Uncomplicated
It is defined as one where there is no other associated obstetric apart from the breech, prematurity being
excluded.
Complicated:
When the presentation is associated with condition which adversely influences the prognosis such as
prematurity, twins, contracted pelvis, placenta previa etc. it is called complicated breech. Extended
legs extended arms, cord prolapse or difficulty encountered during breech delivery should not be
called complicated breech but are called complicated or abnormal breech.
Epidemiology:
Mortality/Morbidity:
Many complications can result from breech presentation. They are generally related to complications of
the fetal abnormalities that may be the primary reason for the breech presentation and those related to
umbilical cord compression resultant from abnormal progression through the maternal pelvis.
Increased birth trauma: As the duration of umbilical cord compression increases, the practitioner tries to
deliver the infant more rapidly than advisable, thus increasing the incidence of birth trauma.
○ Complete, 5% incidence
• Umbilical cord abnormalities: Cord length may be reduced, and, in footings’, there is an increased risk of the
cord coiling around the legs of the fetus.
Etiology:
• Twins
• Oligohydramnios
• Placenta previa
• Contracted pelvis
• Cornufundal attachment of the placenta- minimizes the space of the fudus where the smaller head
can placed comfortably
• Undue mobility of fetus:
• Hydraminos
• On occasion, the breech presentation recurs in successive pregnancies. When it recurs in three or more
consecutive pregnancy, it is called habitual or recurrent breech. The probable causes are congenital
malformation of the uterus or bicorunated, and repeated cornufundal attachment of the placenta.
Diagnosis
Ultrasonography:
It is most informative
1. It confirms the clinical diagnosis- especially in primigravida with engaged frank breech or with
tense abdominal wall and irritable uterus.
2. It can detect fetal congenital abnormality and also congenital anomalies of the uterus.
3. It measure biparietal diameter, gestational age and approximate weight of the fetus.
Radiology:
Clinical: the diagnostic feature of a complete breech and a frank breech are given below in the tabulated form.
Fundal grip Head – suggested by hard globular mass Head – irregular small parts of the feet may
Head is ballottable be felt by the side of head
Head is non ballottable due to splitting
action of the legs on the trunk
Irregular parts are less felt on the side
Lateral grip Fetal back is to one side and the irregular Small hard conical mass is felt
limbs to the other The breech is usually engaged
Breech – suggested by soft, broad and
irregular mass
Pelvic grip Breech is usually not engaged during Located at lower level in the midline due to
pregnancy early engagement of breech
Usually located at a higher ;evel round about
the umbilicus
Per vagina
During pregnancy Soft and irregular parts are felt through the Hard feel of the sacrumis felt, often
fronix mistaken for the head
During labor Palpation of ischial tuberosities, sacrum and Palpation of ischial tuberocites, and opening
the feet by the side of buttocks and sacrum only
The foot is identified by the prominence of
the heel and lesser mobility or the great toe
Position: the sacrum is the denominator of the breech and there are four positions. In anterior position, the sacrum is directed towards
the Iliopubic eminences and in posterior position; the sacrum is directed to the sacro iliac joint. The positions are:

SUMMARY:
I Peer Zada Yawar was posted in antenatal ward where Mrs Tahira a 34 years old female with diagnosis of G2P1L1 with POG 37 weeks with
breech presentation was assigned as a patient to me by our teacher Mrs. Nadia Mam(tutor SMMCNMT). The client came to the hospital
with the chief complaints of Amenorrhea since 9 months, Mild headache since 2 days, Abdominal pain since 1 day, Reduced fetal
movements since 1 day, bleeding per vagina, Contractions and PROM so I cared her for three days and provided health education to the
client for preparing her for the delivery. Along with nursing care and medical treatment the client was feeling better than before.
