    Preterm rupture of membranes refers to the rupture of fetal membranes before the start of labor, resulting in the loss of amniotic fluid. This puts the fetus at risk of infection, cord prolapse, Potter-like syndrome, and pulmonary hypoplasia. Diagnosis involves observing a sudden gush or leakage of clear fluid from the vagina. Treatment consists of bed rest, antibiotics, applying a fibrin-based sealant, and avoiding activities that could introduce infection like bathing or sex.
