ClinConnect Summary

The Twin A Breech External Cephalic Version Intervention Trial (TWEXIT) is a study looking at a specific technique called external cephalic version (ECV) for women expecting twins where the first baby (Twin A) is in a breech position, meaning they are positioned feet or bottom down instead of head down. The goal of this trial is to see if this technique can help safely turn the baby into the head-down position before delivery, which may lead to a better outcome for both mother and babies.

To participate in this trial, women need to be over 18 years old and able to give their consent to join. Unfortunately, women under 18, those with certain pregnancy complications like placenta previa (where the placenta covers the cervix), or those with fetal abnormalities cannot take part in the study. For eligible participants, joining the trial means they will receive care and monitoring related to this technique, and they will be contributing valuable information that could help improve care for future pregnancies.
