The Importance of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

The diagnosis that it's important to consider are importantly whether this is a preterm premature rupture of membranes. Other common scenarios include things like vaginal infections with bacterial vaginosis or thrush. Any patient who you suspect has ruptured their membranes or who's presenting to the delivery ward with abdominal pain or bleeding needs to have a CTG. This is an indicator of the fetal well-being and should be standard at less than 26 weeks.
