This is a prospective observational study of the outcome of 80 cases of external cephalic version (ECV) at term using terbutaline infusion. There were 55 primiparas and 25 multiparas. The successful ECV rate was 44% and 85% respectively. The majority (82%) of the patients with successful ECV delivered vaginally. Parity and type of breech were the two significant factors in the success of the procedure.
