Abstract:
The presence or absence of fetal pulmonary maturity as assessed by amniotic fluid analysis and the role of fetal maturity tests in the management of premature rupture of the membranes are addressed. The hazards of the high falsely immature test are carefully explored. A management scheme based on the results of amniotic fluid analysis is also described.
