Fetal Behavior in Preterm Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Clinics in Perinatology, 1989
Although the subject has been the focus of a large body of obstetric literature, premature rupture of the membranes and its pathogenesis, management, and incidence of sequelae remain confused and controversial. The origins of this disquieting state of affairs can be traced to the lack of a specific, narrow definition of the condition, and resultant ...

Premature Rupture of the Fetal Membranes: Is the Amnion the Major Determinant?

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2006
The objective of the study was to evaluate the relative contributions of amnion and chorion to the strength of fetal membranes and to correlate these findings with gestational age.Fetal membranes from 78 pregnancies were tested for biaxial puncture force using a blunt, instrumented probe with a low-force load cell connected through a load cell ...

Factors That Predispose to Premature Rupture of the Fetal Membranes

JOGN Nursing, 1984
Causes of premature rupture of the fetal membranes were explored in a study of 25,820 pregnancies. Fourteen risk factors were analyzed using multivariate analysis. The following maternal factors had a positive association with premature ruptures: advanced maternal age, non-white race, multiparity, instrumentation of the cervix prior to pregnancy ...

Fetal breathing as a predictor of infection in premature rupture of the membranes

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1986
The value of the presence or absence of fetal breathing in predicting infection was determined by a retrospective analysis of 130 patients with premature rupture of the membranes and no clinical signs of infection or labor. The last ultrasound examination performed within 48 hours of delivery was used for comparison to infection outcome, as reflected ...

PREMATURE RUPTURE OF THE FETAL MEMBRANES

MCN, The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing, 2001
Advanced practice nurses in obstetric settings are frequently required to diagnose premature rupture of fetal membranes; co-management of care with physicians is becoming more common in many health care facilities. Therefore, Advanced practice nurses must have an in-depth understanding of this potentially severe obstetric complication.

Apoptosis in the Chorion of Fetal Membranes in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

American Journal of Perinatology, 2008
We sought to determine if apoptosis in the chorion of fetal membranes was increased in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) with histological chorioamnionitis. Using the TUNEL (terminal uridine deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling) method (ApopTag Plus kit; Oncor, Gaithersburg, MD), apoptosis was quantified.

Risk Factors for Preterm Premature Rupture of the Fetal Membranes

American Journal of Perinatology, 1990
Preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM) is a significant cause of prematurity, accounting for approximately one third of preterm births in the United States. PPROM occurs in approximately 0.7-2% of all pregnancies nationally, and has a reported recurrence rate of 21%.

TESTS OF FETAL WELL-BEING IN PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1992
In summarizing the published data on the use of amniocentesis and fetal biophysical assessment in managing patients with PROM the following conclusions may be drawn: 1. Both amniocentesis and fetal biophysical assessment are reasonably good methods to predict the fetus who is doing well and could therefore safely remain in utero, as well as the fetus ...
