Introduction: Premature membrane rupture (PROM) is generally characterized as membrane rupture at any point prior to the initiation of uterine contractions. PROM, which occurs before 37 weeks of gestation, is referred to as preterm premature membrane rupture (PPROM), while PROM, which occurs after 37 weeks of gestation, is referred to as the term premature membrane rupture. The latent phase is known as the duration of the rupture of the membranes until the onset of true labor.
