One hundred five consecutive women with premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) at term were managed expectantly for at least 24 hours. Seventy-six went into spontaneous labor, of whom 38 were augmented with oxytocin. Twenty-nine had labor induced. Subjects who delivered during the same study interval after artificial rupture of the membranes served as controls. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of amnionitis, endometritis, cystitis, neonatal infection, low Apgar score, low cord arterial blood pH, instrumental delivery, or cesarean delivery. Morbidity was seen most often in induced labor whether or not the membranes were ruptured for a long time. It is concluded that expectant management of PROM at term does not increase perinatal morbidity.

Three gravid, female, wild Florida cooter turtles (Pseudemys floridana floridana) were evaluated and treated by the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine Turtle Rescue Team as a result of traumatic injuries or infection. As part of medical management, oviposition was induced using oxytocin, which was only partially effective. In all three cases, ectopic eggs were subsequently identified in the urinary bladder by ultrasound and were successfully removed via a minimally invasive cystoscopic-guided technique. One of the three turtles died within several days of the procedure, and necropsy revealed granulomatous bacterial cystitis. It is hypothesized that these complications were likely due to the length of time between induction with oxytocin and the identification and removal of the ectopic egg.
