Delivering a fetus in a breech presentation. Friis Basmussen (Acta obs. et gyn. scan., 1926, H. 1; no Ber. ü. die ges Gyn., Bd. XI)

Abstract

The author reports results obtained in Copenhagen from 1910 to 1921 on a material of 465 cases. The duration of labor and premature rupture of the bladder, which occurs frequently, play an important role for prognosis. Mortality in the postpartum period is higher than the average mortality for other births. The prognosis is less favorable for first-time mothers, especially those of older age.
