External cephalic version is a technique that decreases the need for cesarean delivery in patients with breech presentation. Several techniques exist to increase the success of external cephalic version; however, there are no studies comparing different tocolytics in patients who also received neuraxial anesthesia. We, therefore, performed a review of 198 patients who presented for external cephalic version and compared their success rates based on the tocolytic medication utilized. The external cephalic version success rate for patients who received terbutaline was significantly higher than for those who received nitroglycerin (N [%]: 57 [65.6] terbutaline group versus 40 [36.0] nitroglycerin group; P < .001).
