Hollard 2003.
Methods | RCT. |
Participants | Inclusion criteria: normal singleton breech pregnancy, gestational age 36 weeks or more, intact membranes, not in labour. N = 36. |
Interventions |
Intervention:regional analgesia (C). 1000 mL IVI prehydration and intrathecal injection of 6 mg 2% lidocaine with 15 mcg fentanyl. Followed by the same protocol as comparison group. N = 19. Comparison:no regional analgesia + tocolytic. 0.25 mg SQ terbutaline and ECV attempted by a MFM physician. N = 17. |
Outcomes | Maternal pain (reduced in spinal analgesia group) and satisfaction (no difference) on visual scale; ECV success. |
Notes | January 1998 to January 2003. It is unclear whether both groups received terbutaline or just the comparison group. We are writing to study authors to clarify this and other details of the study. |
