Spontaneous Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1966
Summary:  Sixty patients with premature rupture of the membranes occurring between 26 and 37 weeks of gestation who were not in labour 48 hours later were studied prospectively.  There were 12 perinatal deaths (20%).  The average prolongation of pregnancy with a regime of strict bed rest was 14 days.

Detection of Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1991
One of the most common problems an obstetrician faces is evaluation of a patient for PROM. Proper assessment of the patient requires a careful integration of history, physical examination, and clinical testing. The most commonly used tests are analysis of vaginal pH with nitrazine paper and evaluation of vaginal secretions with the arborization test ...

The pathophysiology of premature rupture of the membranes

Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995
Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) is the condition in which the chorioamnion is disrupted before the onset of labor. This condition creates a dilemma for the practicing obstetrician, because once the membranes have broken the risk of fetal or maternal infection, or both, increases.

Premature Rupture of the Membranes – Intervention or Not

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 2010
Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) in otherwise uncomplicated full-term single pregnancies was studied in a prospective randomized study. Ninety-three women were randomized to either induction with oxytocin infusion (n = 43) or expectant management (n = 50). Twenty-four and 26 respectively were nulliparas.

The Microbiology of Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986
The foregoing discussions bring to mind several salient facts: Although numerous barriers to infection exist, this aspect is understood incompletely. Conclusions on the pathogenicity or nonpathogenicity of certain organisms are often made from studies with very small numbers of patients, or in very specific patient populations.

Management of premature rupture of membranes

Clinics in Perinatology, 2001
The management of patients with PROM, regardless of gestational age, remains controversial. Generally, when patients are in labor, have infection, or there is irreversible fetal distress, there are few options other than delivery. For those not in labor, especially in premature gestational ages, the complexities of the many combinations of decisions to

Premature Rupture of the Membranes and Ascending Infection

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1982
Summary. The association of premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) and ascending infection was investigated in 15 women. Bacteriological, histological and immunofluorescence methods were used to study infection at various levels in the birth canal.

Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1993
Although the etiology of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is probably multifactorial, recent literature has indicated that infectious processes may play an important role. The management of PPROM is still controversial, requiring individualization of care for each patient. Expectant management is increasingly advocated.

Premature spontaneous rupture of the membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1964
Abstract In a review of 1,788 births associated with premature spontaneous rupture of the membranes a significant finding was the increase in perinatal mortality with even a small increase in the latent period. The death risk doubled after 24 hours and doubled again after the second 24 hours of the latent period.
