The common management in most centers in cases of multiple pregnancies with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) before 22 weeks of gestation is termination of the pregnancy or the expectant approach. Expectant management of previable PPROM in twin pregnancies results in an increased rate of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality of both twins. Selective fetocide of the twin with ...

This treatment reduces the risk of neonatal death and handicap. It is also known that upon corticosteroid exposure, the fetus is subjected to transiently increased physiologic and metab...
متن کاملEffects of antenatal and postnatal corticosteroids on the preterm lung.
It is nearly 25 years since Liggins and Howie first reported the maturational benefits of antenatal corticosteroids given to mothers of preterm infants. They reported reduced incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants delivered to mothers treated with antenatal steroids. Since then, several other studies have reported similar benefits for antenatal corticosteroids. Inde...
متن کاملProphylactic Antibiotics in Twin Pregnancies Complicated by Previable Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes
OBJECTIVE This study aims to determine if antibiotics given for latency to women with twins and previable preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) affect the duration from membrane rupture to delivery. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of twin pregnancies at a single center from 2000 to 2015 with previable (14 (0/7)-22 (6/7) weeks) PPROM was conducted. Women who were not candidates f...
