Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) is rupture of membranes more than one hour before onset of labor. One of the complications caused by PROM is asphyxia. The longer the rupture of the membranes the greater the risk of fetal distress. By the rupture of the membranes the amniotic fluid volume decreases and there is an emphasis on the umbilical cord so that there is less supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus which causes the newborn to have asphyxia.The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the length of premature rupture of membranes during labor with asphyxia of the new born infant in Aura Syifa Kediri Hospital. This study used an observational research design with a Cross Sectional approach.
