Q

Patient with antepartum bleeding – differential?

A

Q

Suspect Preterm rupture of membranes - diagnosis?

A
  1. Pooling, nitrazine, and ferning

Q

Preterm rupture of membranes - management?

A
  1. If under 32, prolong with ampicillin, give steroids (tocolysis has little benefit)
  2. If 32-36, physician decision
  3. If over 36, deliver (longer wait increase risk for Chorioamnionitis)
  4. If signs of infection or fetal distress, deliver

  2. Frequent antenatal testing
  3. Amnioinfusion if meconium or cord compression
19
Q

Polyhydramnios - Management?

A
  1. Expect Malrotation and Risk of cord prolapse so be careful after ROM
  2. RhoGAM to prevent Isoimmunization
20
Q

Fetal demise - management?

A
