Abstract
External cephalic version (ECV) is an obstetric manoeuvre intended to change a breech or transversal fetal presentation into cephalic, more favourable in terms of delivery. The midwife, as a member of the multidisciplinary team, will be present during this procedure, implementing any necessary measures for a comprehensive care of the pregnant woman. The objective of this article is to present the clinical case of a pregnant woman during the ECV procedure. The nursing care plan is prepared on the basis of Virginia Henderson’s basic needs, and guided by the NANDA-NIC-NOC taxonomy, where three nursing diagnoses will be identified as the basis for conducting this nursing process: fear, acute pain and risk of alteration of the maternal/fetal dyad. The application of this healthcare plan represented an improvement in women care and work organization.
