Lecture Update: RCOG updated guidelines for PPROM

  • Women whose pregnancy is complicated by PPROM after 24+0 weeks’ gestation and who have no contraindications to continuing the pregnancy should be offered expectant management until 37+0 weeks; timing of birth should be discussed with each woman on an individual basis with careful consideration of patient preference and ongoing clinical assessment. [Grade A]
  • The previous edition of this Green-top Guideline recommended that delivery of the baby should be considered at 34+0 weeks’ gestation.
