Abstract:
Objective
To study the possibility of prenatal amnioinfusion as a therapeutic measure in premature rupture of membranes in preterm pregnancies.
Material and methods
We performed serialized transabdominal amnioinfusions in two patients with premature rupture of membranes in preterm pregnancy. Ringer's solution was instilled by abdominal puncture.
Results
We performed serialized transabdominal amnioinfusions until the 23rd week of pregnancy, after which time both patients showed normal amniotic fluid.
Conclusions
Transabdominal amnioinfusion is a valid therapeutic option in premature rupture of membranes in preterm pregnancy.
