Abstract
Recent advances in the understanding of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome have led to a proliferation of amniotic fluid tests for fetal pulmonic maturity. Clinical application of these tests requires a knowledge of reliability, availability, and cost. This review outlines the major features of the most widely utilized pulmonary maturity tests and allows the clinician to make a comparative assessment.Entities:
