• PROM p 140
o Prolong rupture of membrane

o Risk Factors for preterm PROM
▪ Previous preterm PROM or preterm delivery
▪ Bleeding during pregnancy
▪ Hydramnios
▪ Multiple gestation (up to 15% in twins, up to 20% in triples)
▪ Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
▪ Cigarette smoking

o Risk for the Woman
▪ Maternal infections (ex: chorioamnionitis)
▪ Preterm labor and birth
▪ Increase rates of cesarean birth

o Risk for the Fetus and Newborn
▪ Fetal or neonatal sepsis
• The earlier the fetal gestation at ROM, the greater the risk for infection
• The membranes serve as a protective barrier that separates the
sterile fetus and fluid from the bacteria-laden vaginal canal
▪ Preterm delivery and complications of prematurity
▪ Hypoxia or asphyxia because of umbilical cord compression due to
decreased fluid
▪ Fetal deformities if preterm PROM before 26 weeks’ gestation

o Assessment Findings
▪ Confirmed premature gestational age by prenatal history and ultrasound
