External Cephalic Version (ECV) for breech position at Catharina Hospital The Netherlands

When a child is in breech position or side-lying position (transverse position), External Cephalic Version (ECV) is used to position the child into head-down position (vertex position). This procedure makes it possible to have a vaginal birth. In this film the professionals of the Catharina Hospital in The Netherlands show an External Cephalic Version (ECV) on a breech position child and turn the breech position child into the head-down position. An animation about the External Cephalic Version (ECV) in breech position is part of this film.
