Premature rupture of membranes, labour delayed by therapy - what does this mean
Premature rupture of membranes (prom) is a condition where the amniotic sac surrounding the baby ruptures before the onset of labour. labour can be delayed by therapy, such as using drugs to relax the uterus or to stimulate contractions, or by manually rupturing the membranes to start labour.
What happens during the disease - premature rupture of membranes, labour delayed by therapy
Premature rupture of membranes (prom) is a condition in which the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus in the uterus breaks before the onset of labour. when this occurs, labour may be delayed by the use of therapies such as antibiotics, tocolytics, and betamimetics, which help to reduce the risk of infection and promote the development of the fetus. in addition, the uterus may be monitored to ensure that the fetus is not in distress, and the mother may be given fluids to prevent dehydration.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination to assess the amount of amniotic fluid
- Ultrasound to assess the baby’s gestational age
- Fetal heart rate monitoring to check for signs of distress
- Blood tests to check for infection
- Amniocentesis to check for infection or genetic abnormalities
- Uterine contractions monitoring to assess the progress of labour
- Cervical exam to assess the dilation and effacement of the cervix
- Fluid sampling to check for infection
- Hormone level testing to assess the readiness of the body for labour
- Fetal fibronectin testing to assess the risk of preterm labour
- Maternal serum screening to check for any chromosomal abnormalities
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To induce labour in a safe and timely manner.
- Administer antibiotics to reduce risk of infection.
- Administer oxytocin to stimulate uterine contractions.
- Monitor fetal heart rate and uterine contractions.
- Administer pain medications to reduce discomfort.
- Monitor amniotic fluid levels.
- Assess cervical dilation and effacement.
- Administer medication to ripen the cervix.
- Perform amniotomy to break amniotic sac.
- Monitor progress of labour.
