Breech Presentation Clinical Trial
Official title:
INVERT: IV Nitroglycerin for Versions Trial - a Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial in Nulliparous Women
Breech presentations (where a baby presents with feet or bottom down) have an increased risk
of perinatal and neonatal complications, and are usually delivered by cesarean section. As
an alternative, so that the baby can be delivered vaginally, an attempt can be made to turn
the baby so that it is head down: this manoeuvre is called an external cephalic version
(ECV).
Drugs that relax the uterus (tocolytic agents) are sometimes used to help improve ECV
success rates. Nitroglycerin is a tocolytic agent, but intravenous nitroglycerin has not
been tested as an agent to help ECV. There is some suggestion that nitroglycerin may be more
helpful in women who have not previously been pregnant (nulliparous women) than in women who
have been pregnant more than once (multiparous women), and so we have planned two trials.
This study is designed to answer the following questions for nulliparous women:
Will administration of IV nitroglycerin for uterine relaxation improve ECV success rates?
Will an increase in ECV success result in a decreased cesarean section rate?
