External cephalic version (ECV) is a process by which a breech baby can sometimes be turned from buttocks or foot first to head first. It is a manual procedure that is recommended by national guidelines for breech presentation of a pregnancy with a single baby, in order to enable vaginal delivery.[2][3] It is usually performed late in pregnancy, that is, after 36 gestational weeks,[4] preferably 37 weeks,[5] and can even be performed in the early stages of childbirth.[4]
ECV is endorsed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) as a mode to avoid the risks associated with a vaginal breech or cesarean delivery for singleton breech presentation.[2][6]
ECV can be contrasted with "internal cephalic version", which involves a hand inserted through the cervix.[7]
