Neonatal sepsis following prolonged rupture of membranes in a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.
INTRODUCTION Prolonged rupture of membrane (PROM) is an important risk factor for early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), which is associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. We reported the incidence and associated risk factors of PROM for culture-proven EONS. METHODOLOGY The medical records of all neonates born at Aga Khan University, Karachi over a period of five years (2007-20...
متن کاملNeonatal Brain Damage Following Prolonged Latency after Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes
This study evaluated the risk of brain damage in neonates delivered at < 34 weeks following a prolonged latency after preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM). The medical records of 77 singletons delivered at < 34 weeks with pPROM and 66 singletons delivered at < 34 weeks with preterm labor and intact membranes were reviewed. Latency was divided into four intervals: < or = 24, > 24-< or ...

The standard practice in the United States has been to induce labor with intravenous oxytocin in that minority of patients who fail to labor spontaneously. Controlled trials suggest that this practice is associated with hi...

An intact amnion with sufficient amniotic fluid is not only essential for the...
