Q

What is the purpose of antibiotics for PPROM?

How has this been shown to affect neonatal outcome?

A

To prolong latency in the short-term

Studies to date show prolongation of pregnancy without improvement in neonatal outcome.

Q

What does ACOG say regarding antenatal steroids in the setting of PPROM?

A

They should be given between 24 and 32 weeks if no evidence of chorioamnionitis. Most centers give a single course up to 34 weeks 0 days if no evidence of chorioamnionitis.

18
Q

What is the impact of PPROM in the setting of genital HSV?

How should this be managed?

A

There may be an increased risk of neonatal HSV.

Prophylactic antiviral agents should be considered if lesions are present at PPROM. Cesarean section is still recommended if lesions are present at the timing of delivery.

19
Q

What antibiotics and dosing are recommended for PPROM?

A

Ampicillin 2 g IV Q6 hours for 48 hours, then amoxicillin 250 mg PO Q8 hours for 5 days.

Erythromycin 250 mg IV Q6 hours for 48 hours, then erythrothromycin 333 mg PO Q8 hours for 5 days.

Azithromycin may be better tolerated.

20
Q

How should PPROM less than 32 weeks be managed?

A

Expectant management if no contraindication
Single course of corticosteroid. ACOG says insufficient evidence to recommend rescue course.
Latency antibiotics
Magnesium sulfate for neuroprotection

21
Q

What are the greatest risks to the fetus of expectant management of PPROM after 34w0d?

A

Infection and cord prolapse

22
Q

How is mid trimester PROM defined?

What is the incidence?

A

PPROM less than 26 weeks

0.7% of pregnancies

23
Q

What percentage of women with mid trimester PPROM deliver within one week?

What percentage deliver within 28 days?

A

50%

88%

24
Q

What features of PPROM before 26 weeks provide better prognosis?

Which provide a poorer prognosis?

A

After amniocentesis, AFI > 2 cm, after 24 weeks (50% survival)

Elevated AFP and bleeding, AFI < 2 cm, before 20 weeks (20% survival)

25
Q

What is the rate of abruption with PPROM before 20 weeks?

Cord prolapse?

Fetal demise?

A

50%

2%

10%

26
Q

What does ACOG say regarding PPROM and cerclage?

A

The optimal management is yet to be determined. It is reasonable to consider leaving the cerclage in place for very early PPROM (< 28 weeks).

27
Q

What bacteria are typically involved with chorioamnionitis?

A

Bacteroides, Prevotella, E. coli, group B streptococci

All from ascending infection from normal vaginal flora

28
Q

What is the incidence of chorioamnionitis?

How does this change in preterm delivery?

A

1-5%

Increases to nearly 25%

29
Q

What are risk factors for chorioamnionitis?

A

Young age, low SES, nulliparity, prolonged labor, prolonged PROM, multiple vaginal exams, pre-existing infection

30
Q

What are clinical findings of chorioamnionitis?

A

Fever, maternal or fetal tachycardia, uterine tenderness, purulent amniotic fluid
Increased WBC, decreased amniotic fluid glucose, increased amniotic fluid IL-6, positive amniotic fluid leukocyte esterase, positive Gram stain or culture of amniotic fluid

31
Q

What are maternal complications of chorioamnionitis?

Neonatal complications?

A

Bacteremia 10%, wound infection with C-section 8%, pelvic abscess 1%, dysfunctional labor, increased need for induction, increased risk of C-section

Pneumonia 5-10%, bacteremia 5%, meningitis 1%

32
Q

What is the drug treatment and dosage typically used for chorioamnionitis?

How would you substitute the ampicillin for penicillin allergic patients?

A

Ampicillin 2 g IV Q6 hours
Gentamicin 1.5 mg/kg IV Q8 hours

Clindamycin 900 mg Q8 hours or vancomycin 500 mg Q6 hours or erythromycin 1 g Q6 hours

33
Q

What anabiotic treatment is added for chorioamnionitis at cesarean section?

A

Clindamycin 900 mg Q8 hours or metronidazole 500 mg Q 12 hours

34
Q

How long should chorioamnionitis treatment be maintained?

A

Until afebrile and asymptomatic for 24 hours. Patients should not need oral antibiotics.

35
Q

What are the maternal complications of pre-viable PPROM?

A

Intra-amniotic infection, endometritis, abruption, retained placenta, maternal sepsis 1%.

36
Q

What is the incidence of pre-viable PPROM?

What is the survival rate PPROM after 22 weeks?
Before 22 weeks?

A

Less than 1%

  1. 7%.
  2. 4%
37
Q

What percentage of women with pre-viable PPROM deliver within the first week?

What percentage give birth 2-5 weeks after rupture?

A

40-50%

70-80%

38
Q

What is the rate of fetal pulmonary hypoplasia in PPROM before 24 weeks?

A

10-20%

39
Q

What are the fetal consequences of weekly antenatal steroids administration?

A

Reduced birthweight and head circumference.

40
Q

What is ACOG say about PPROM managed at home?

A

Insufficiently studied for safety and is therefore not recommended.

41
Q

Why is amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (Augmentin) not recommended as a latency antibiotic?

A

Increased rate of necrotizing enterocolitis.

43
Q

What is the risk PPROM at second trimester amniocentesis?

How often does re-accumulation of normal amniotic fluid fluid occur?

What is perinatal survival rate?

A

1%
