Abstract
Increasing quantities of maternal and fetal serum were added to amniotic fluids with orignal high or low lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratios. It was found that serum contains an L/S ratio of approximately 1.31 to 1.46 and therefore its addition lowered high L/S ratios and raised low L/S ratios. The addition of meconium to amniotic fluid decreased the L/S ratio.Entities:
