Indomethacin Versus Placebo in Women With Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the short term use of indomethacin will reduce the number of women delivering within 48 hours when given to women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) between 24- 32 weeks of gestation. We hypothesize that indomethacin's anti-inflammatory and tocolytic action will reduce the number of women delivering within 48 hours when given to women with PPROM between 24-32 weeks of gestation.
