ABSTRACT
A new, rapid technique for determining fetal lung maturity, the FELMA, was tested against the standard lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio in predicting hyaline membrane disease (HMD). The FELMA was tested on 236 samples, 154 of which were compared with the L/S ratio; 102 neonates were delivered within 48 hours. There was a significant correlation between methods ( r = 0.47). No neonate with a mature FELMA score developed HMD. Of 5 neonates with HMD, 2 had mature L/S ratio in predicting lung immaturity, providing a rapid result without the necessity of thin-layer chromatography.
