Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Preterm premature rupture of the membranes continues to be a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in the United States. In the absence of amnionitis or fetal compromise, expectant management is a reasonable alternative to permit fetal weight gain and to allow for fetal lung maturation. When embarking on an expectant management course, a variety of clinical approaches are available to the practicing clinician. |
