Abstract
Objective: In this study our main goal is to evaluate the prevalence of prevalence of breech delivery in a Rangpur medical college hospital. Method: This prospective observational study was carried out at Rangpur medical college hospital. From January 2020-June 2020 where 51 singleton uncomplicated breech presentation admitted for delivery were included in the study. Results: During the study, total 899 babies were delivered. Among them 51 (5.67%) were in breech presentation and the rest 848 (94.33%) were other presentations. Among the breech presentation cases, 32 (62.7%) underwent LUCS, either emergency or elective and rest of the 19 cases (37.3%) underwent vaginal delivery. Among the vaginal delivery group, 31.6% of babies were born spontaneously and rests (68.4%) were born with assistance. 29 (90.6%) had undergone emergency caesarean section. Primi breech (34.4%) was the highest number of indications. Conclusion: From our study we can conclude that, policy of planned delivery method is substantially better for singleton fetus in breech presentation at term with lower perinatal mortality and morbidity rates.
