Dr Asha Joshi, Dr. Sadanand Joshi, Dr Kunal Sadanand Joshi

Abstract :

Premature rupture of memane(PROM) usually occurs most frequently at term (37 weeks or more of gestation). Various different modalities are available which leads to a dilemma in choosing the type of approach to be used. Oxytocin induction at term has been suggested as a gold standard for the management of PROM. Contrasting results of various studies adds to the difficulty in making a decision on the management and this review focuses on making a clinical decision based on the scientific data available.
