Blanco-Carnero1,3, Aníbal Nieto-Díaz1,3,4, María Luisa Sánchez-Ferrer1,3,4 1Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, "Virgen de la Arrixaca", University Clinical Hospital, 2Department of Gynecology, "Reina Sofía", University Clinical Hospital, 3Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics and Surgery, University of Murcia, 4Institute for Biomedical Research of Murcia This article shows how to perform the external cephalic version (ECV) by two experienced obstetricians in the obstetric operating room in the presence of an anesthesiologist and a midwife. The ECV is carried out with analgesia and tocolysis. Two attempts are made under ultrasonography control.
