In a group of 81 prematurely delivered infants the amniotic fluid lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio was related to functional fetal lung maturity. Intrapartum fetal asphyxia occurred in 33% of the group. An association between fetal asphyxia and the development of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in the infant was observed. When pulmonary maturity was borderline according to the amniotic fluid assessment, intrapartum fetal asphyxia was associated with an increased risk for development of RDS in the infant.
在一组81例早产婴儿中,羊水卵磷脂/鞘磷脂比值与胎儿肺功能成熟度相关。该组中33%的婴儿发生了产时胎儿窒息。观察到胎儿窒息与婴儿呼吸窘迫综合征(RDS)的发生之间存在关联。根据羊水评估,当肺成熟度处于临界状态时,产时胎儿窒息与婴儿发生RDS的风险增加相关。
