Spinal anesthesia may boost success of turning breech babies

NCT ID NCT02801201

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) helps doctors turn a breech baby (feet-first) to a head-down position more successfully than standard sedation. 186 pregnant women at 36+ weeks participated. The goal was to increase the chance of a successful version and reduce the need for C-sections.
