We swab on SROM assessment as we dont routinely swab, but unless confirmed
positive wont start IVAB until 18 hrs. Confirmed GBS aren't considered to be
candidates for home management.

Oh mum didn't have strep b swap done (they forgot to do it) so they wanted
her to be on ab's too as policy assumed she was positive. She ended up
saying no after they sent in a barrage of people trying to tell her to
have
ab's.

We sometimes have some confusion over whether the women should have oral
AB's cover if they are on home management of SROM. The policy doesnt call
for it, but some doctor's recommend this. When in established labour and
membranes are broken for more than 18hrs, then IV AB's are used. I guess
that confirms that you are at more risk in Hospital!!
What do other units do?
Cheers,
Diane

"The UK's NICE guidelines inherited from the UK's Royal College of Obs and
Gynea suggest that it is fine to leave pre-labour rupture of membranes up
to
96 hours before induction of labour - "
This is the policy at Rosebud.
If doing ARM for IOL then waiting 4 hours is common & reducing the synto
once the labour is established is recognised as 'best practice".
The recent research which associates IOL with syntocinon & an increase in
PPHs is acknowledged there.

For those who work in maternity units, I am just wondering what the policy
is in your unit in regards to how long a woman can continue after her
waters
have broken before having synto put up? There seems to be such pressure to
put it up fairly quickly (after you ask to at least wait at all!), with an
average of about 1 hour before the woman gets the pressure to speed things
up.
