Preterm Rupture of Membranes Melissa Zahnd, RNC, MSN 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 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) Documentation EF a 22 yo MWF, G1P0 with PPROM at 32 3/7 weeks gestation… MR a 32 yo female, G3P2 with PROM at 38 3/7 weeks gestation… Incidence-Preterm ROM Complicates up to 35% of all pregnancies 30-40% of Preterm births PPROM ~25% cases of all PROM Garite (2007), Santaloya-Forgas et al, (2007), Svigos, Robinson, et Vigneswaran, 2007) 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 (VitC, copper, zinc) Risk Factors 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 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 Nitrazine paper testing Vaginal pH (35-45) Turns blue in presence of alkaline Amniotic fluid 933% sensitivity False positive (1-17%) for urine, blood, semen, BV, Trichomonas 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-982%, Specificity-268% AmniSure Newer test Point of Care test Cost-up to 50 each Sensitivity-987-989% Specificity-875-100% Awaiting further testing prior to recommendations AmniSure Remove swab and rotate in solvent x 1 min Read results after 5-10 mins have passed Place Swab 2-3 in into vaginal canal x 1 min Discard swab and place test stick into solvent 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 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 Gestational age Availability of NICU Fetal presentation FHR pattern Active distress (maternal/fetal) Is she in labor? Cervical assessment How would I manage this patient? Initial Assessment Assess for Maternal-Fetal distress Assess for Proper dating/GA Assess for infection Exclude occult cord prolapse Secondary Assessment Fetal position Cervical assessment Determine lung maturity, if indicated Quantify AFV* Delivery Indication Maternal-Fetal Distress Infection Abruption Cord Prolapse Expectant Management Typical for GA 32 weeks or less Steroids Tocolysis if indicated for lung maturity Antibiotics Fetal Surveillance Majority Inpatient Observation Assess for Chorioamnionitis Goal: Mature Lung Profile, reduction of PTB risks! Abruption Chorioamnionitis Cord Prolapse Pulmonary Hypoplasia (<19 weeks PPROM Skeletal Deformities Endometritis (1/3) Mature lung profile Advancing GA (reducing risks associated with PTB) Risk-Benefit Expectant Management Risks Benefits Assoc w/ PTB NEC IVH/CP RDS Cesarean Delivery Endometritis (1/3) Elimination of risks of expectant management Risks-Benefits Profile of Pre-term Birth Risks Benefits 1/3 develop intraamniotic infections, endometritis, or septicemia Neonatal outcomes dependent on GA and indication for delivery Outcomes References Duff, Patrick, MD “Preterm premature rupture of membranes” UpToDate Ed Charles J Lockwood, MD and Vanessa A Barss, MD 1-16 27 June 2008 <http://utdolcom> Garite, Thomas J, MD “Premature Rupture of the Membranes” Clinics in Perinatalogy Np: np, nd 723-736 Hacker, and Moore Essentials of Obstetrics and Gynecology 4th ed Np: np, 2004 Santolaya-Forgas, Joaquin, et al “Prelabor rupture of the membranes” Clinical Obstetrics-Handbook: The Fetus and Mother By E Albert Reece and John Hobbins Np: np, 2007 1130-1173 Svigos, John Micheal, Jeffrey S Robinson, and Rasniah Vigneswaran “Prelabor Rupture of Membranes” High-Risk Pregnancy Np: np, nd 1321-1330
