Summary
At the time of birth, nearly 5% of children are in breech presentation. This type of
presentation requires a medical environment and leads to more frequent use of Caesarean
sections. This is why the external version can be proposed, usually from the 36th week. Its
success rate is 40%, and is usually performed under simple sedation. One of the causes of
failure is the lack of relaxation of the uterus, which could be higher in case of deeper
anesthesia, as is the case in spinal anesthesia. The study project is to demonstrate
superiority of spinal anesthesia compared to the usual protocol sedation in terms of primary
and secondary objectives.
