Description

Traditionally, mothers diagnosed with PPROM (preterm premature rupture of membranes) between 34w0d to 36w6d had immediate delivery. However, newly developed research has shown potential benefit to expectant management through delaying delivery until 37 weeks to reduce adverse neonatal outcomes. Our research showing a lower percentage of respiratory distress, mechanical ventilation, and/or length of NICU stay in expectant management can greatly impact neonatal care. Additionally, this can form a new standard in guidelines on how to manage mothers diagnosed with PPROM between 34w0d to 36w6d.
