Answer 1

Is this grammatically correct or I am missing some commas?
She continued to dilate; artificial rupture of membranes was to be performed with close monitoring.

 

Its not so much that you are missing any commas, I would recommend looking at the sentence structure. It would read best such as this:

 

"She continued to dilate. Artificial rupture of membranes was performed with close monitoring."

 

Where is is confusing, is that I am not clear, as a reader, whether or not the rupture would be performed if she continued to dilate, or that it was a definitive action that was going to take place.

 

Answer 2

It looks fine.
