[Premature rupture of membranes, fetal outcome, management of delivery (author's transl)].
In 764 gravides from totally 1738 women, which delivered 1977 in our hospital, happened a premature rupture of membranes. 319 patients had a spontaneous (SPR), 454 an artificial premature rupture of membranes (APR). Comparing the number of complications, the perinatal situation and the maternal behaviour, so you will find a significant difference between SPR and APR. The fetal outcome of the children, born after APR was better then born after SPR. The same is valuable as for the operative management of delivery. The perinatal morbidity after APR was nearly equal to the situation after normal rupture of membranes. Therefore you can see, that the bad experiences are more valuable for the SPR.
