EP078 - Breech Presentation_ Management and Delivery Options

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website. This episode outlines a simulated medical scenario for a healthcare professional, focusing on a 25-year-old woman in labour at 38 weeks' gestation who presents with a breech presentation, meaning the baby is positioned feet or buttocks first. The primary goal is to assess the candidate's ability to advise the patient on managing this condition, specifically regarding the advantages and disadvantages of both vaginal delivery and Cesarean section. It emphasises critical considerations such as fetal positioning, maternal history, and potential risks associated with each delivery method, requiring the candidate to recommend an appropriate plan while respecting patient preferences and current medical guidelines.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #BreechPresentation #ChildbirthOptions #VaginalBirth #CSection #LaborAndDelivery #PregnancyRisks #MaternityCare
