A conservative approach was followed in 188 patients with premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) over a 2 year period. There were no neonatal deaths from sepsis, and only one infant showed a positive central bacteriologic culture. Fifty-seven percent of all patients less than 37 weeks' gestation had a latent period of 24 hours and 19% went beyond 7 days before labor began. Patients less than 34 weeks' gestation who received antepartum steroids for lung maturation showed no increased infectious morbidity or mortality. A conservative approach to patients with PROM seems reasonable when either prematurity and/or a cervix unfavorable for induction further complicates the pregnancy. |
