Middle-East OBGYN Graduate Education (MOGGE) Foundation Practice Guidelines: Prelabor rupture of membranes; Practice guideline No. 01-O-19

摘要

P relabor rupture of membranes (PROM) refers to rupture of membranes prior to the onset of labor. PROM is a common obstetric disorder that may be associated with significant maternal, fetal and neonatal complications. Diagnosis and manage- ment of PROM have been thoroughly investigated in the literature. Nevertheless, many decisions are still debatable. Practice in low-re- source settings is prone to several challenges including resource, training, and awareness barriers. This article provides review of the literature and analysis of evidence of management of PROM in gen- eral, with attention to debates particularly in low-resource settings.
