“…Studies conducted by Russel et al, Sacks et al and Gunn et al reported overall incidence of cord prolapse in 0.3-0.5% of cases and in 2-4% of PROM cases. 3,18,19 The present study where 2% cord prolapse was detected in PROM cases was consistent with the incidence reported by above authors.…”

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is a common obstetric complication. Knowledge of etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, complications and management of PROM has significantly increased due to extensive research in the recent past. Yet, there is no unanimous opinion regarding optimum management of PROM. The aim of the study was to observe the patients during labor and compare the latent period, duration of first stage of labor, modes of deliveries and the use of oxytocin and its outcome in PROM cases with controls. The study has been conducted with the belief that these data will help in better management of PROM cases in future.Methods: In this study, the definition of PROM adopted is rupture of fetal membranes before the onset of true labor pain. The minimum gestational age was taken to be 28 weeks. Diagnosis of PROM was mainly clinical. Patients were monitored during the latent period and during labor. Induction of labor was done where necessary. Collected data were analysed using Chi Square Test.Results: It was observed that onset of labor was more rapid with increasing gestational age. Use of oxytocin for induction and augmentation of labor and operative deliveries were higher in PROM cases. These results mostly corroborated with the findings of other researchers.Conclusions: The conclusion drawn at the end of the study was that individualized management of PROM cases depending on the gestational age and risk of complications is the best way to achieve a good fetomaternal outcome.

“…Although several randomised trials (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7) reporting the utility of PGE1 for labour induction included patients with PROM at term numbers have been insufficient to draw conclusion regarding women with this indication for induction This study demonstrates that misoprostol significantly reduces the interval from induction of labour to delivery without increasing rates of fetal distress or cesarean delivery. And subjects in the misoprostol group less frequently required oxytocin augmentation.…”

Labour Induction with intravaginal Misoprostol versus Oxytocin in Term PrematureRupture of Membranes. OBJECTIVES: To compare the safety and efficacy of misoprostol with oxytocin for labour induction in women with premature rupture of membranes beyond 36 weeks gestation. METHODS: 65 subjects with rupture of membranes without labour were assigned to receive. vaginally administered misoprostol 50 ug, every 4 hrs. and another 65 subjects with rupture of membranes at term received intravenous oxytocin infusion and we compared the duration of labour, intrapartum complications, mode of delivery and the maternal and neonatal outcomes in the two groups. RESULTS: Results of the 130 subjects studied, 65 received misoprostol and 65 oxytocin infusion. The average interval, from start of induction vaginal delivery was significantly shorter (660 minutes) in the misoprostol group than the oxytocin group (1105 min). Oxytocin administration was necessary in 13 (20%) subjects receiving misoprostol. There was increased incidence of tachysystole in misorpostol group 22 (33.8%) compared to the oxytocin group 9 (13.8%) No significant difference was found in the mode of delivery neonatal and maternal outcomes in the two groups. CONCLUSION: Vaginal administration of misorpostol is safe and effective alternative to oxytocin infusion for labour induction in women with premature rupture of membranes at term.

“…are associated with the occurrence of PROM. 4 The final unifying mechanism for premature rupture of membranes is weakness in the chorioamnionmembrane (relative or absolute, local or generalized). 1,5 This may be due to reduced size of the membrane at the rupture site; 6 reduced collagen content, 7 deficiency of Type 3 collagen 8 or reduced elasticity.…”
