METHOD FOR EVALUATING NEWBORN LUNG MATURITY DEGREE

摘要

FIELD: medicine; bioengineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining surfactants availability. To do it, biological fluid taken from baby in neonatal period is mixed with 96% ethanol, shaking the sample and foam formation on the fluid surface is evaluated. Supernatant is used as the biological fluid produced by centrifuging tracheobronchial suction sample during 10 min at 600g. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of method; low risk of traumatic complications; low cost of treatment. 2 tbl
