Definition
Premature ROM: Amniorrhexis (SROM) Prior to the onset of labor at any gestation (PROM)
Preterm ROM: PROM prior to 37 weeks gestation
Use PPROM/PROM
![Page 3: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Definitions
Latency Period: time interval between ROM and onset of labor
Expectant management: management of patients with the goal of prolonging gestation (“watchful waiting” until delivery indication arises)

Incidence-Preterm ROM
Complicates up to 3.5% of all pregnancies
30-40% of Preterm births
PPROM ~25% cases of all PROM

Risk Factors
Chorioamnionitis Vaginal infections Cervical
abnormalities Vascular pathology
(incl. abruptio) Smoking 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or
multiple trimester bleeding
Previous preterm delivery (PPROM)
AA ethnicity Acquired or
congenital connective tissue disorder
Nutritional deficiencies (Vit.C, copper, zinc)

The Patient
Vaginal discharge Gush of fluid Leaking of fluid Oligo/Anhydramnios Cramping Contractions Back pain

Diagnosis
Sterile Speculum exam (Pooling) SSE-Free flow of fluid from cervical os Nitrizine testing Microscopic Fern testing Fetal Fibronectin AmniSure Ultrasonography Transabdominal Indigo dye injection
![Page 9: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why not do a digital vaginal exam?
Latency period Infection

Sterile Speculum Exam Sterile No lubricating jelly Pooling of fluid in
posterior fornix Free flow of fluid
from cervix Cervical dilation Nitrazine Collect slide for
fern (dry 10 mins)
Assess for
Consider need to collect other cervical tests/cultures such fetal fibronectin while doing the SSE.
![Page 11: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Nitrazine paper testing Vaginal pH (3.5-
4.5) Turns blue in
presence of alkaline Amniotic fluid
93.3% sensitivity False positive (1-
17%) for urine, blood, semen, BV, Trichomonas
![Page 12: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fern slide
Must allow slide to dry thoroughly prior to examination under microscope. Assess for arborization of fluid. Cervical mucous has broad, ferning pattern that is different than the fern of amniotic fluid.

Fetal Fibronectin
fFn present in cervical secretions <22 wks, >34 wks
Used for assessment of potential PTB
Positive result (>50 ng/dl) may be indicative of PROM and represents disruption of decidua-chorionic interface
In PPROM, Sensitivity-98.2%, Specificity-26.8%.
![Page 14: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
AmniSure
Newer test Point of Care test Cost-up to $50 each Sensitivity-98.7-98.9% Specificity-87.5-100% Awaiting further testing prior to
recommendations
![Page 15: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AmniSure
Place Swab 2-3 in. into vaginal canal x 1 min.
Remove swab and rotate in solvent x 1 min.
Discard swab and place test stick into solvent.
Read results after 5-10 mins have passed.
![Page 16: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ultrasonography
50-70% of women with PPROM have low AFV on US
Mild reduction requires further investigation
Rule out other causes (Renal agenesis, utero-placental insufficiency, obstructive uropathy)
Measure for pockets of fluid and quantitate AFV into AFI
Ultrasound showing 7 cm pocket of fluid
![Page 17: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Transabdominal Injection of Dye
Amniocentesis Collect Fluid
samples Inject dye (Indigo
Carmine) Tampon placed in
vagina and checked for blue staining 30-60 mins after procedure
![Page 18: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How would I manage this patient?
Gestational age Availability of NICU Fetal presentation FHR pattern
Active distress (maternal/fetal)
Is she in labor? Cervical
assessment
![Page 19: Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649d9e5503460f94a88550/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Initial Assessment
Assess for Maternal-Fetal distress Assess for Proper dating/GA Assess for infection Exclude occult cord prolapse

assessment Determine lung
maturity, if indicated
Quantify AFV*

Outcomes
1/3 develop intraamniotic infections, endometritis, or septicemia
Neonatal outcomes dependent on GA and indication for delivery
