Premature Rupture of Fetal Membranes

Postgraduate Medicine, 1967
Premature rupture of fetal membranes increases maternal morbidity and perinatal mortality when labor does not ensue promptly. Two schools of management of this problem have developed: the activists, who favor induction of labor if it does not occur spontaneously within 24 hours, and the conservatives, who prefer close clinical observation with no ...

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 ...

Premature Rupture of the Membranes - Intervention or Not

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 1990
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.

Midtrimester premature rupture of the membranes

Seminars in Perinatology, 1996
Midtrimester premature rupture of the membranes is an uncommon adverse complication of pregnancy with an occurrence of approximately 0.65%. Significant perinatal and maternal morbidity includes pulmonary hypoplasia, restriction deformities, and sequelae of prematurity as well as maternal chorioamnionitis and endometritis. Moreover, 31% of survivors are

Premature Rupture of the Fetal Membranes

New England Journal of Medicine, 1998
The membranes surrounding the amniotic cavity are composed of the amnion and the chorion, which are closely adherent layers consisting of several cell types, including epithelial cells, mesenchymal cells, and trophoblast cells, embedded in a collagenous matrix.

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.

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.

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 Membranes

2019
In pPROM, complications such as fetal immaturity and intrauterine infection may occur, and intensive care that is distinct from that of full-term PROM is required. pPROM occurs in 25% of all PROMs, and approximately 30% of premature births involve pPROM. There are two causes of premature membrane rupture.
