Intrapartum influences on cesarean delivery in multiple gestation.
To evaluate which intrapartum factors influence the method of delivery in a group of twin pregnancies eligible for vaginal delivery. ⋯ Twin gestations with twin B presenting as vertex or breech or with an epidural were less likely to undergo combined vaginal delivery and cesarean section. The liberal use of epidural anesthesia may reduce the need for cesarean section in patients with twin gestations considered good candidates for vaginal delivery.
