What is the treatment for premature prolonged membranes rupture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If the baby is old enough, then delivery. If the baby is very premature, then there may be a reason to delay delivery briefly to give some medication to try to cause the lungs to mature very rapidly. The risk of infection with premature and prolonged rupture is significant.
