AmniSure ROM test (Qiagen NV) for detection of fetal membrane rupture
Record ID 32013000218
English
Authors' recommendations:
During pregnancy, the fetal membrane protects the developing fetus and its surrounding fluid from infection. Although tearing or rupture of membranes (ROM) normally occurs during labor, in approximately 12% of pregnancies, this membrane ruptures before initiation of labor. For pregnancies that are at term ( 37 weeks of development), labor must be induced after premature ROM (PROM). Fetal membrane rupture at < 37 weeks of development is referred to as preterm premature ROM (PPROM). PPROM management is much more complex and may require hospital admission to enable frequent monitoring for infection, prolapse or compression of the umbilical cord, and other potential complications. Since physicians must respond quickly to the substantial increase in risks after PROM or PPROM, these conditions must be detected soon after they occur.
