Lecithin: sphingomyelin ratio (L:S Ratio)- what is the purpose, and the L:S ratio.
✓ -:- Purpose= Assessment of *fetal lung maturity*

Comment= L:S ratio *>2.0 signifies maturity*
Foam stability index (shake test)
✓ -:- Purpose= assessment of *fetal lung maturity*.
Method= Shake with *95% ethanol*.
Comment= Foam stability index= tube with *the highest ethanol* volume fraction that will
result in a stable ring of *bubbles at the meniscus* after shaking. An index of *0.48* is
comparable with an *L:S ratio of 2.0*
Amniotic fluid bilirubin
✓ -:- Purpose=Diagnosis of *hemolytic disease of the newborn*.
