According to the ACOG, pre-labor rupture of membranes (PROM) complicates 10% of all births in the United States and is a major contributor to perinatal morbidity and mortality. What is the best course of action when patients present with PROM with a “unfavorable cervix”? Should it be a pharmacological method of ripening, or a mechanical? What does the data say? In this episode, we will do a deep dive into published data from the 1980s up to 2023. We will also explain why the Bishop score “is irrelevant“(SOGC) in patients at term with PROM. 😳. The literature does favor one pharmacological agent in cases of PROM. Curious? Listen in and find out more.
