Daniel Braun: "Re: opinion on pprom with 17 weeks" Anna, I've had the same anecdotal experience. Perhaps a re-evaluation of AF Volume a week after ROM ( circumstances permitting) might suggest which patients might achieve sufficient latency. Of course, I've also seen a case whose latency ended tragically at 24 wks with clinical chorioamnionitis, a Cesarean for Fetal Distress, and long term morbidity. It's a Hobson's choice to be sure.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
