Amniotic fluid index values after preterm rupture of the membranes and subsequent perinatal infection

Article Abstract:

Pregnant women who have less than normal amounts of amniotic fluid may have an increased risk of developing a uterine infection if their membranes rupture prematurely. This was the conclusion of a study of 225 pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes. Amniotic fluid is thought to contain natural antibacterial substances.

Effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroid administration after preterm premature rupture of the membranes

Article Abstract:

A single dose of corticosteroids may benefit pregnant women with premature rupture of fetal membranes. In a study of 362 such women, a single dose of betamethasone reduced the risk of fetal respiratory distress syndrome and brain hemorrhage.

Qualitative human chorionicgonadotropin testing of cervicovaginal washings for the detection of preterm premature rupture of membranes

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine whether a qualitative human chorionicgonadotropin (hCG) test using cervicovaginal washings obtained from pregnant women was a useful predictor of preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM). The results revealed that qualitative hCG testing of cervicovaginal washings found to be a useful predictor of PPROM.
