DOREN V, Adriana  y  CARVAJAL C, Jorge. Alternativas de manejo expectante de la rotura prematura de membranas antes de la viabilidad en embarazos únicos. Rev. chil. obstet. ginecol. [online]. 2012, vol.77, n.3, pp. 225-234. ISSN 0717-7526.  doi: 10.4067/S0717-75262012000300010.

Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) before fetal viability is a low incidence complication of pregnancy, but associated with a high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Currently standard guidelines for expectant management of this pathology are not available, thus the reported clinical management of this clinical situation are not uniform. We present a ten years literature review and we propose a guideline for management of PPROM before fetal viability based on current evidence.
