Author(s): Abdel-Megeed, Youstina A. Sabry* and Ahmed Gamal Abdelnasser
Background: Premature Rupture Of the Membranes (PROM) at term is defined as membrane rupture happening at least an hour before the onset of uterine contractions at a gestational age of 37 weeks or more. It complicates 8% of pregnancies in some way. With this diagnosis, there is an elevated risk of chorioamnionitis due to the length of the PROM. Objective: Comparing the effects of intravenous oxytocin, oral misoprostol, and vaginal dinoprostone (a PGE2 analogue) administration for labour induction in women with term prelabor rupture of membranes on mother and neonatal outcomes. Methods: Pre-labor membrane rupture at term affected 120 pregnant women who participated in this randomised control clinical trial. For cervical ripening and labour induction, group A received a dose of misoprostol equal to one-fourth of.. Read More»
