Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

DeckerMed Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2021
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) refers to rupture of the fetal membranes prior to 37-0/7 weeks’ gestation and prior to the onset of labor. PPROM complicates 2-4% of singleton pregnancies and 7-20% of twin pregnancies, and has been implicated in 30-40% of preterm births.

Management of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1991
The variables enumerated in the preceding paragraphs and the constantly changing and improving technology in neonatal care mean that the data on which to base the best management plans of PPROM are not yet available. Rather, we must be willing to revise our approach to the treatment of this entity constantly as new information is found.

ETIOLOGY OF PRETERM PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1992
Numerous factors have been indicted as playing a role in causing preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). After discussing the development of the amnion and chorion, this article focuses primarily on the effects that infection, nutrition, smoking, and cervical incompetence have on the fetal membrane and the subsequent advent of PPROM.

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.

Management of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Clinics in Perinatology, 1988
In conclusion, the suggested management for PROM follows two general principles. The first principle, which is accepted by most, consists of searching for a positive history of PROM, confirming PROM (by speculum examination, pooling, positive Nitrazine testing, and ferning), and obtaining cervical and vaginal cultures (for group B streptococcus ...

Management of Preterm Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1998
In many cases, the management of preterm PROM will be dictated by the presence of advanced labor, intrauterine infection, placental abruption, or nonreassuring fetal testing. These patients should be delivered expeditiously, with group B streptococcus prophylaxis given where possible, and cesarean delivery reserved for routine obstetric indications ...
