Re: 20 weeks with PPROM + previaFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comTue Jul 2 07:59:12 1996
<<A 16 year-old primigravida at 20 weeks (menstrual history and 8 week ultrasound) arrives with documented preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), not in labor, and a non-bleeding complete placenta previa on ultrasound.>> 1) How "bad" is the PROM? Is there any fluid left in the amniotic cavity, or is there basically none? 2) If there is no fluid, are you sure there's a previa? Sometimes they are difficult to see when you have a collapsed uterine cavity from oligohydramnios. On the other hand, if there is still fluid left, do you think you have a "high leak" that might be able to be expectantly managed? ************************************************* doctorjoe@aol.com "All things are connected.

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.
