CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Spontaneous rupture of membranes (ROM) is a normal component of labor and delivery.


Premature ROM (PROM) refers to rupture of membranes prior to the onset of labor irrespective
of gestasional age. PROM can occur either at term or preterm. When PROM occurs at term,
labor typically ensues spontaneously or induced within 12 or 24 hours. Preterm PROM
(PPROM) defined as PROM prior to 37 weeks of gestation

Premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) is when the membranes rupture before the onset of
labour. In 80% of patients labour ensues within 24 hours. Once the membranes are ruptured the
barrier to ascending infection is gone and if labour does not follow within 24-48 hours, induction
of labour to prevent chorioamnionitis in the mother and systemic neonatal infection is usual.

PPROM is a major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. It is a associated with 20% to 30%
of all preterm births and prognosis is related primarily to the gestasional age at presentation and
delivery. A timely and accurate diagnosis of PROM is critical to optimize pregnancy outcome. A
better understanding of the diagnosis and managemet of PPROM will allow obstetric care
providers to optimize perinatal outcome and minimize neonatal morbidity.

When the buttocks of the fetus enter the pelvis before the head, the presentation is breech.
Breech presentation is more common remote from term because the bulk of each fetal pole is
more similar. Most often, however, as term approaches, the fetus turns spontaneously to a
cephalic presentation because the increasing bulk of the buttocks seeks the more spacious
fundus. Breech presentation persists in 3 to 4 percent of singleton deliveries at term.

National Institute of Child Health and Human Development-sponsored Neonatal Research


Network of 437 very-low-birthweight breech newborns. After adjusting for several variables, the
risk of intraventricular hemorrhage and death was not significantly affected by the mode of
delivery for fetuses weighing less than 1500 g.

Answers :

1. PPROM or preterm premature rupture of membranes defines spontaneous rupture of fetal


membranes before 37 completed weeks and before labor onset ( American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists). Intrauterine infection is believed to be a major predisposing
event. Risk factos for PPROM include women with prior PPROM, low socioeconomic status,
body mass index 19,8, nutrional deficiency and cigarette smoking. Despite these risk factors,
none is identified in most cases of preterm rupture.

Amnionic epithelium is functioned as a major site of transfer between amnionic fluid and
amnion. This epithelium is metabolically active and its cells synthesize tissue inhibithor of
MMP-1, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and fetal fibronectin (fFN). In term pregnancies, amionic
expression of prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthase correlates with elevated fFN promote
synthesis of MMPs that break down the strength-bearing collangens and increases prostaglandin
synthesis to prompt uterine contractions and cervical ripening. This pathway is upregulated in
premature rupture membrane induced by infection

Preterm membrane rupture pathogenesis may be related to increased apoptosis of


membrane cellular components and to increased level of specific protease in membrane and
amnionic fluid. Matrix metaloproteinase (MMP) family is involved with normal tissue
remodeling and particularly with collagen degradation. The MMP-1, MMP-2,MMP-3 and MMP-
9 are found in higher concentrations in amnionic fluid from pregnancies with preterm
prematurely rupture of membranes. MMPs activity is in part regulated by tissue inhibitors of
matrix metalloproteinase-TIMPs. Several of these inhibitors are found in lower contractions in

17
amnionic fluid from women with ruptured membranes. Elevated MMP levels found at a time
when protease inhibitor expression decreases supports further that their expression alters
amniotic tensile strength. Increased MMPs allow collagen breakdown in fetal membranes
resulting in premature rupture

2. The diagnosis of this patient are : G1P0A0, 24 years old, 32-33 weeks of gestation, first stage of
labor (latent phase) with premature rupture of membrane. Single, intrauterine living fetus with
breech presentation.

Discussion :

Diagnosis of rupture of membranes (ROM) is suspected with a history of vaginal leakage of


fluid, either as a contionus stream or as a gush. The woman should be instructed during
antepartum period to be aware of this condition and to report such an event promptly Diagnosis
can be confirmed by the pool, nitrazine and fern tests.

Using a sterile speculum, rupture membrane are diagnosed if amnionic pools in the
posterior fornix or clear fluid flows from the cervical canal. This can be augmented by
asking the patient to cough or bear down, potentially allowing one to observe fluid
escaping from the cervix
If the diagnosis remain uncertain, we can use pH of vaginal fluid. Vaginal secretions are
normally acidic (4.5 to 5.5), whereas amniotic fluid is alkaline (7.0-7.5). Thus, when the
fluid is placed on nitrazine paper, the paper should immediately turn blue. A pH above
6.5 is consistent with ruptured membranes. Flase positive test results may occur with
coexistent blood, semen or bacterial vaginosis, whereas flase negative test may result
with scant fluid.
The estrogens in the amnionic fluid cause crystallization of the salts in the amnionic fluid
when it dries. Under low microscopic power, the crystals resemble the blades of a fern,
giving the test its name

Confirmation of rupture membranes is usually accompanied by sonographic previously


determined, to estimate gestasional age. If fluid volume was previously normal and there is no
other reason to suspect low fluid, oligohidramnions is indicative of ROM.

In situations when accurate diagnosis is necessary (e.g., PPROM where antibiotic


prophylaxis would be indicated), amniocentesis may be used to inject dilute indigo carmine dye
into the amniotic sac to look for leakage of fluid from the cervik onto a tampon ( the amnio dye
test or tampon test)

For the diagnosis of premature contraction in this case, it is best to evaluate the characteristic
of contraction in this patient. In early pregnancy, the uterus undergoes irregular contractions that
are normally painless. During the three trimester, there are contractions that appear

18
unpredictably, irregular and usually nonrythmic, these contractions called Barxton Hicks
contractions or usually known as false labor.

Meanwhile, for the diagnosis of breech presentation, that is a final diagnosis,because in


gestational age 32-33 weeks, the fetal can't doing the movement inside the uterus and the fetal
enganged or fixed to pelvic inlet

Conclusion : G1P0A0, 24 years old, 32-33 weeks of gestation, first stage of labor (latent phase)
with premature rupture of membrane. Single, intrauterine living fetus with breech presentation.

3. The earlier management of this patient is the conservative management because of there is the
uncertainty in the gestational age. But, after the fundal height examination and HPHT estimation
was done, the gestational age of this patient is 32-33 weeks. After the gestational age is certain,
there is a change in the planning of therapy. The planning of therapy in patient is to do the
termination of pregnancy with consent from patient and patients family.

Discussions :

Recommended management of preterm premature rupture of membranes according to American


College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2013) are :

Gestational Age Management


34 weeks or more Proceed to delivery, usually by induction of
labor.
Grup B streptococcal prophylaxis is
recommended

19

best etimates chances of survival and should be Grup B streptoccal prophylaxis is
considered in individual cases recommended
Corticocosteroids are not recommended
consensus, but non experts recommended
Antimicrobials- there are incomplete data on
use in prolonging latency

20
21
Once the membrane rupture, delivery is recommended when the risk of ascending infection to
maternal outweighs the risk of prematurity

Conculsion : the final management of this case is to the termination of pregnancy or induction of
labor before viability is considered because the risk of ascending infection to maternal outweight
the risk of prematurity

4. PPROM has been known as the main cause of preterm delivery and associated with increased
rates of neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Although it has different cause, collagen
metabolism is considered as the main factor in premature rupture of membranes. Vitamin C
usage during pregnancy can modulated the collagen metabolism and cause the strength of
aminochorion membranes. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that blocks the damaging effects of
oxidative stress in vitro. Therefore, vitamin C can prevent premature rupture of membranes
through its role as an antioxidant or in collagen synthesis and maintenance. Vitamin C
supplement is recommended to be administered for pregnant women with the history of PPROM
during pregnancy to prevent PPROM.

5. The fetal membranes serve as a barrier to ascending infection. Once the membrane rupture,
both the mother and fetus are at risk of infection and of other complications.

Neonatal complications :

Neonatal complications relate to the gestasional age at rupture of membranes. PPROM is


associated with a 4- fold increase in perinatal mortality and a 3- fold increase in neonatal
morbidity, including respiratory distress syndrome, polimicrobial intraamnionitic infection and
intraventricular hemorrhage. Other neonatal complications include fetal pulmonary hypoplasia,
skeletal deformities, cord prolapse especially in pregnancy with non- vertex presentation, and
increased casarean delivery for malpresentation . severe oligohydramnions in the setting of
PPROM results in an increased incidence of cord compression and fetal distress in labor, leading
to a further increase in the risk of caserean delivery. Infection, cord accident and other factor
contribute to the 1% to 2% risk of intrauterine fetal demise ( stillbirth) after PPROM .

Maternal complications :

Maternal complications include choriamnionitis. Choriamnionitis is seen more commonly in


women with prolonged preterm PPROM, severe olighydramnions, multiple vaginal discharge
and fetal tachycardia indicate clinical chorioamnionitis.Additionally, because more fetuses with
PPROM present with malpresentation ( eg. Breech), the risk of casarean delivery with its
attendant surgical risk to the parturient is higher in PPROM as compared with term deliveries.

6. Breech presentation is more common remote from term. Most often, however, before the onset
of labor the fetus turns spontaneously to a cephalic presentation, so that breech presentation

22
persists in only about 3 to 4 percent of singleton deliveries. Specifically, the annual rate of
breech presentation at delivery in nearly 150,000 infants delivered at Parkland Hospital in the
10-year period ending in 2002 was 3.6 percent.

As term approaches, the uterine cavity usually accommodates the fetus in a longitudinal lie with
the vertex presenting. Factors other than gestational age that appear to predispose to breech
presentation include hydramnios, uterine relaxation associated with great parity, multiple fetuses,
oligohydramnios, hydrocephaly, anencephaly, previous breech delivery, uterine anomalies, and
pelvic tumors. Fianu and Vaclavinkova (1978) provided sonographic evidence of a much higher
prevalence of placental implantation in the cornual-fundal region for breech presentation (73
percent) than for vertex presentations (5 percent). The frequency of breech presentation also is
increased with placenta previa, but only a small minority of breech presentations are
associated with a previa. No strong correlation has been shown between breech presentation and
a contracted pelvis.

7. The varying relations between the lower extremities and buttocks of breech presentations
form the categories of frank, complete, and incomplete breech presentations. With a frank breech
presentation, the lower extremities are flexed at the hips and extended at the knees, and thus the
feet lie in close proximity to the head (Fig. 28-2). A complete breech presentation differs in that
one or both knees are flexed (Fig. 28-3). With incomplete breech presentation, one or both hips
are not flexed and one or both feet or knees lie below the breech, such that a foot or knee is
lowermost in the birth canal (Fig. 28-4). Footling breech is an incomplete breech with one or
both feet below the breech.

23
8. Understanding the clinical settings that predispose to breech presentations can aid early
recognition. Other than early gestational age, risk factors include abnormal amnionic fluid
volume, multifetal gestation, hydrocephaly, anencephaly, uterine anomalies, plasenta previa,
fundal placental implantation, pelvic tumors, high parity with uterine relaxtion, and prior breech
delivery.
