Is amnioinfusion beneficial for neonates after preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM)?

Christian Orji, Ron Brimberry, Lois Coulter, Jonell S. Hudson

Abstract

Evidence-Based Answer Transcervical amnioinfusion (TCA) does not appear to improve clinical outcomes in PPROM (SOR: A, systematic review). Transabdominal amnioinfusion (TA) may reduce the risk of neonatal sepsis, pulmonary hypoplasia, and neonatal death, but the evidence is conflicting (no SOR given).
