OP08.10: Point‐of‐care ultrasound and undiagnosed breech presentation.

The primary objective was to study the utility of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in reducing the incidence of undiagnosed breech presentation in labour. Undiagnosed breech presentation was defined as: a) women who presented in labour or with ruptured membranes at term and were subsequently discovered to have a baby in a breech presentation, and b) women who attended for induction of labour at term and were found to have a breech presentation before commencing induction of labour. Approximately 271 POCUS would be required to prevent one undiagnosed breech presentation in labour. [Extracted from the article]
