OP13.08: Fetal membranes: is vaginal ultrasound useful in establishing diagnosis of membranes rupture?

diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes by assessment of urea and creatinine in vaginal washing fluid

background: rupture of fetal membranes can occur at any gestational age. premature rupture of membranes (prom) means rupture of fetal membranes before the onset of labor. objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the reliability of the vaginal washing fluid urea and creatinine for the diagnosis of prom and to determine cut-off values. materials and methods: a total of 179...

the diagnostic power of cervico-vaginal fluid prolactin in the diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes

background premature rupture of membranes (prom) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy that has a major impact on pregnancy outcomes. a diagnostic tool that is non-invasive, specific and quick is needed to predict prom. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic power of the vaginal washing fluid prolactin for the diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes and to d...

the role of vaginal prolactin in diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes

Qualitative Determination of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Vaginal Washings for the Early Diagnosis of Premature Rupture of Fetal Membranes.

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate and validate the qualitative human chorionic gonadotropin β subunit (β-hCG) test of the vaginal fluid washings of pregnant women with premature rupture of fetal membranes (PROM). Methods Cross-sectional study of pregnant women between gestational weeks 24 and 39 who underwent consultations in one of our institutions. They were divided into two groups: group ...

Diagnosis of Premature Rupture of Foetal Membranes

Premature rupture of foetal membranes (PROM) complicates 10 % of pregnancies and is the most important identifiable cause of pre-term delivery. The diagnosis of PROM is based on the detection of amniotic fluid in the vagina. This can be achieved by chemical, clinical or biochemical methods. An ideal test should be specific for amniotic fluid and should not be affected by gestational age or inte...
