Prelabour Rupture of Membranes: Mode of Delivery and Outcome

Abstract: BACKGROUND:Pre-labour Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and increased rate of cesarean section delivery.AIM:The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristics, PROM-delivery interval, mode of delivery, and early maternal neonatal outcome among pregnant patients presenting with pre-labour rupture of membranes.MATERIAL AND METHODS:This prospective case control study is implemented at the Obstetric and Gynecology Clinic of the University Clinical C… Show more

“…Tahir et al had a caesarean section proportion in PROM of 14%[ 6 ]. Eleje reported a caesarean section proportion of 23% while Ibishi et al reported one of 28%[ 7 , 8 ]. Other studies however had higher cesarean proportions: Tavassoli et al reported a caesarean section proportion in PROM of 32%[ 12 ], while Pasquier et al reported a caesarean section rate of 58.7%[ 13 ].…”

“…Many factors are involved in the incidence of IVH, the most important of which include respiratory distress, hypoxiainduced damage, ischemia, high or low blood pressure, increased venous blood pressure, pneumothorax, and hypovolemia [ 3 ]. Symptoms of IVH are nonspecific and differ according to the severity of the disease [ 4 ].…”
