Breech Birth Conference – International perspectives on the management
of term breech pregnancies and birth
http://www.breechbirthconference.com
March 20th & 21st 2006 Vancouver, BC, Canada
There has been a radical change over the last few years in the approach
to breech pregnancy. The publication of the term breech trial led to
many centres across the world opting for management with caesarean
section, resulting in the dramatic decrease in the number of vaginal births.
In turn this has led to many obstetricians, midwives and family
practitioners never having seen – much less managed - a planned vaginal
breech birth. The skills of those who can provide experience are all too
quickly disappearing, both from retirement and fear in a litigious
environment.

Aims and Objectives
Aims of the Conference
We aim to bring together practitioners and researchers from around the
world to discuss issues such as research and safety, as well as
techniques associated with breech birth. It is to be a multidisciplinary
forum, and will contain discussions, presentations and interactive
workshops.
Objectives
* Analyze research in this area, and hear of current work in the field
* Participate in hand-on skills workshops for both vaginal breech birth
and emergency skills, led by both doctors and midwives
* Hear about some of the different approaches to breech birth around the
world, including the rationale for selected use of oxytoxics in second
stage, and the preferences for different birth positions
