Abstract
External cephalic versions in the study period were performed in a double blind design by 2 experienced practitioners. Sixty-three patients were allocated to treatment with either placebo, ritodrine or hexoprenaline. The main outcome measure studied was successful completion of external cephalic version. Hexoprenaline, but not ritodrine, was statistically more likely to be associated with successful version than placebo (p = 0.04 versus p = 0.22).Keywords
