21
Q

What are risk factors and think of two major risk factors for PROM?

A

2 major: smoking and short cervical length (<25mm)

Vaginal bleed during pregnancy, +ve amniotic fluid cultures, previous preterm delivery

22

Vaginal progesterone

Cervical cleavage

23
Q

Who is cervical cleavage offered to for PROM?

A

<25mm cervical length on vaginal USS between 16-24 wks.
Cervical trauma
Previous premature birth

24
Q

Who is vaginal progesterone offered to for PROM?

A

<25mm cervical length on USS between 16-24wks.

25
Q

Dx for PROM? think x2

A

27
Q

What can be given as a prophylaxis against chorioamnionitis?

A
