The problem of preterm rupture of fetal membranes in premature pregnancy complicated by chorioamnionitis

Abstract

Often premature birth is accompanied by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). PPROM is a complication of the course of pregnancy in 2–3 % cases and is the most common in premature birth. As a rule, the protocols for the management of such patients vary greatly and are mainly individual. In practical obstetrics, there is an urgent need to decide whether the risk of complications resulting from previous PPROM exceeds the risk of intrauterine infection. Of course, the need for further research in this area is necessary, which will help to choose the tactics of the maximum allowable period that would be optimal for reducing perinatal morbidity and mortality, as well as to identify factors that improve the prognosis for the mother and fetus. The review analyzes and summarizes the results of studies on PRPO in premature pregnancy complicated by chorioamnionitis. The advantages and disadvantages of various approaches in the management of such patients are considered. The modern medical literature presented in eLibrary and CyberLeninka electronic libraries, PubMed database of medical and biological publications has been studied.
