Background: The World Health Organization recommends a cesarean delivery rate of 5-15%, which is thought to be within the range that can reduce infant morbidity and mortality. Various investigations have shown that those poor newborn outcomes are influenced by a variety of maternal and fetal factors and are more prevalent in emergencies than planned cesarean deliveries. Ethiopia is one of the five nations that account for 50% of all neonatal fatalities worldwide.

Objective: To determine whether patients undergoing a trial of labor with a breech presentation following a failed attempt of external cephalic version (ECV) are at increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single university-affiliated medical center. The study group comprised women with singleton pregnancies at term, categorized into three groups: those who underwent a failed external cephalic version (ECV) and subsequently attempted a trial of breech delivery (Breech-failed-ECV group), those who attempted an assisted vaginal breech delivery without a prior ECV attempt (Breech-no-ECV group), and those with vertex presentation following a successful ECV (Vertex-ECV).

The management includes non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic therapies (if resistant), patient education and reassurance, salt and fluid intake increase, and physical counter-pressure maneuvers.
