Internal podalic version considered as one of the management of Second twin, transverse lie with cord prolapse?
Internal podalic version is a procedure that can be used in the management of a second twin in a transverse lie position with cord prolapse. In this situation, the second twin is presenting feet first rather than head first, which can be dangerous for the baby. The cord can also be compressed, which can decrease the blood flow and oxygen supply to the baby.
During an internal podalic version, the doctor will manually try to rotate the second twin so that they are in a head-first position, which is safer for delivery.
