TL;DR: Antenatal corticosteroid therapy is indicated for women at risk of premature delivery with few exceptions and will result in a substantial decrease in neonatal morbidity and mortality, as well as substantial savings in health care costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mid-trimester preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM): etiology, diagnosis, classification, international recommendations of treatment options and outcome.
Michael Tchirikov,Natalia Schlabritz-Loutsevitch,James Maher,J. Buchmann,Yuri Naberezhnev,Andreas Suhartoyo Winarno,Gregor Seliger +6 more
TL;DR: The management of the mid-trimester preterm premature rupture of membranes requires balancing the potential neonatal benefits from prolongation of the pregnancy with the risk of intra-amniotic infection and its consequences for the mother and infant.
Journal Article
Amniotic fluid embolism after saline amnioinfusion : two cases and review of the literature
TL;DR: Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and it is not known whether amnioinfusion increases the rate of its occurrence in laboring patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chlorhexidine vaginal irrigation for the prevention of peripartal infection: A placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial
TL;DR: Chlorhexidine lacked efficacy in the prevention of maternal peripartal infection as used in this trial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cindy T. McEvoy,S Bowling,Kathleen Williamson,David Lozano,Lama Tolaymat,Luis A. Izquierdo,James Maher,Andrew W. Helfgott +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that weekly repetitive courses of AS do not significantly increase FRC or respiratory compliance in preterm infants when compared with a single remote course of steroids given at a mean gestational age of 29 weeks.
