Tocolytic Therapy in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes. "Trials evaluating tocolytic use in preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) have been small and lacked adequate power to evaluate uncommon outcomes. There still is much controversy on the benefit, length of use, route, and drug of choice among clinicians treating patients with PPROM. Most professional medical societies would propose to consider the use of tocolytics for 48 hours to allow for corticosteroid administration or to allow for maternal transfer to a higher level of care. Longer treatment regimens may lead to adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Insufficient data are available to make stronger and more definitive recommendations."
