Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyRemifentanil versus placebo for analgesia during external cephalic version: a randomised clinical trial.
Breech presentation occurs in up to 3% of pregnancies at term and may be an indication for caesarean delivery. External cephalic version can be effective in repositioning the fetus in a cephalic presentation, but may be painful for the mother. Our aim was to assess the efficacy of remifentanil versus placebo for pain relief during external cephalic version. ⋯ Intravenous remifentanil with bolus doses on demand during external cephalic version achieved a reduction in pain and increased maternal satisfaction. There were no additional adverse effects, and no difference in the success rate of external cephalic version or the incidence of fetal bradycardia.
