The Persisting Role of Cervical Ferning in Diagnosis of Rupture of Membranes

ABSTRACT:

The synergistic effects of arborization, nitrazine test, and patient history/physical were initially explored in the 1960s. This report underscores the persistent role of cervical ferning as an established and cost effective approach in diagnosing ruptured membranes, and guiding appropriate management and monitoring in pregnant patients with suspected membrane rupture.
