Trendelenburg Positioning and External Cephalic Version Outcome
Trendelenburg Positioning and External Cephalic Version Outcome
Women at term (over 37 weeks) that are candidates for external cephalic version will be
 positioned in the trendelenburg position 5 minutes prior to external cephalic version
 performance and during the procedure. The control group will not be positioned differently
 than usual. We will evaluate external cephalic version success and compare the 2 groups.
This is a randomized controlled trial that is designed to compare external cephalic version
 success between women positioned in the trendelenburg position 5 minutes prior to external
 cephalic version performance and during the procedure and a control group of women that will
 lie on their back without special positioning.

 The women that are eligible for participation will receive a thorough explanation and will
 sign informed consent.
