1. Ultrasound examination: An ultrasound can be used to assess the amount of amniotic fluid present, the position of the fetus, and the overall health of the pregnancy.
2. Nitrazine test: This test involves using a pH indicator strip to test the pH of vaginal fluid. Amniotic fluid has a higher pH than normal vaginal fluid, so a positive result may indicate rupture of membranes.
3. Fern test: A fern test involves examining a sample of vaginal fluid under a microscope to look for a fern-like pattern that is characteristic of amniotic fluid.
4. Amnisure test: This is a rapid test that detects a protein found in amniotic fluid. A positive result may indicate rupture of membranes.
5. Digital examination: A healthcare provider may perform a digital examination to check for pooling of amniotic fluid in the vagina or cervix.
6. Fetal fibronectin test: This test measures the presence of a protein that is normally found in amniotic fluid but can also be present in vaginal fluid in cases of premature rupture of membranes.

6 Investigations Done in Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM)
1. Vaginal Examination:
- To assess the stage of labor and confirm PROM
- Speculum examination may reveal pooling of amniotic fluid or visualization of the placental membranes
2. Nitrazine Test:
- pH test of vaginal fluid
- Positive test (blue or purple color) indicates rupture of membranes
3. Ferning Test:
- Examination of vaginal fluid under a microscope
- Positive test shows fern-like crystals, indicating the presence of amniotic fluid
4. Amnisure Test:
- Immunoassay to detect the presence of placental alpha-1 microglobulin-1 in vaginal swabs
- Positive test suggests PROM
5. Amniocentesis with Indigo Carmine Dye:
- Injection of blue dye into the amniotic sac
- Leakage of dye from the vagina confirms PROM
6. Ultrasound:
- Transvaginal ultrasound may reveal an empty or collapsed amniotic sac
- Transabdominal ultrasound can assess fetal well-being and placental location
