Strategies to reduce cesarean deliveries: surveying Polish obstetricians on external cephalic version practices
The study demonstrated that among Polish obstetricians for term pregnancies with non-cephalic presentation, elective cesarean section is preferred over ECV, especially among experienced practitioners. Knowledge about ECV was relatively low, indicating a need for improved educational efforts. Addressing concerns about ECV's safety and efficacy, particularly through enhanced training and anesthesia options, could promote its adoption and reduce CS rates.
