Hello

Someone knows if there is any RELIABLE way to determine fetal lung madurity with ultrasound?

We had a pregnant woman 26 weeks of gestation with premature rupture of membranes from 4 weeks ago, with an AFI that never exceeded 10 mm. We need to know lung madurity.

Any idea?

Thanks

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
