Breech extraction - what does this mean

Breech extraction is a form of delivery in which the baby is delivered feet first. it is usually done when the baby is in the breech position, which means that the baby's buttocks or feet are positioned to come out first instead of the head. breech extraction is done by a doctor or midwife who gently pulls the baby out of the uterus using forceps or their hands.

What happens during the disease - breech extraction

Breech extraction is a medical procedure that involves the delivery of a baby in the breech position. the pathogenesis of this condition is the failure of the fetus to rotate to the head-down position during the later stages of pregnancy. this can be due to a variety of factors, such as the size of the baby, the shape of the mother's uterus, or the position of the umbilical cord. as a result, the baby is unable to pass through the birth canal in the normal head-down position, and must be delivered via breech extraction.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Perform physical examination to assess the position of the fetus.
  • Order a pelvic ultrasound to confirm the position of the fetus.
  • Perform a vaginal exam to assess the size of the pelvis and the size of the fetus.
  • Discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with the patient.
  • Administer an epidural or spinal anesthetic.
  • Perform the procedure using forceps or vacuum extraction.
  • Monitor the patient’s vital signs during the procedure.
  • Provide post-procedure care and follow-up.

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To successfully deliver the baby in a breech position.
  • Assess the fetal position and size.
  • Check the maternal pelvis for size and shape.
  • Administer an epidural anesthetic.
  • Perform an internal examination to confirm the breech position.
  • Place the baby in a position that will facilitate the delivery.
  • Support the baby's head with one hand.
  • Gently rotate the baby until the feet are in the birth canal.
  • Gently pull on the baby's legs to help guide the baby out of the birth canal.
