Abstract
The incidence of fetomaternal haemorrhage after external cephalic version was 1.8% in 167 patients. The occurrence of this complication was not found to be associated with difficult or unsuccessful version, or with any adverse perinatal outcome. We conclude that routine assessment of fetomaternal haemorrhage after external version is not necessary, except in rhesus negative women to detect the 2% in whom the routine dose of 500 iu (100 micrograms) of anti-D immunoglobulin is inadequate.Keywords
