Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of Amniotic fluid Lamellar Body Counting for Evaluating of Fetal Lung Maturity.
Detailed description
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is one of important cause of mortality in neonates. This study was designed to evaluate the amniotic fluid lamellar body counting for predicting fetal lung maturity.
Interventions
OTHERAmniotic fluid Lamellar Body Counting
fluid samples were obtained by amniocentesis during normal delivery or before rupturing the membrane in cesarean. The samples were sent to the lab as soon as possible and after centrifuging with 500 round per minute for 3 minutes, they were placed in the cell counter machine (STKR coulter).
