Prior to 35 weeks’ gestation, the L/S ratio is usually less than ___ because large amounts of lecithin are not being produced at this time

A

1.6

136
Q

after 35 weeks of gestation, lecithin concentration ___while the sphingomyelin concentration remains constant

A

increases

137
Q

from 1.6, the L/S ratio after 35 weeks of gestation will rise to

A

2.0 or higher as the lecithin production increases to prevent alveolar collapse.

138
Q

Therefore, when the L/S ratio reaches 2.0, a preterm delivery is usually considered to be a relatively safe procedure

true or false

A

true

139
Q

In L/S ratio test,

Falsely elevated results are encountered in fluid contaminated with __ or __ because both these substances contain lecithin and sphingomyelin

A

blood or meconium

140
Q

Quantitative measurement of lecithin and sphingomyelin is performed using ___

A

thin-layer chromatography (TLC).

141
Q

Because the procedure is labor intensive and subject to high coefficients of variation, many laboratories have replaced the L/S ratio with the quantitative ___ and ____ procedures.

A

phosphatidyl glycerol immunoassays

and

lamellar body density

142
Q

Analytical Error for L/S ratio

A

o Over centrifugation
o Blood Contamination
o Imprecision of TLC
o Meconium

143
Q

Essential for adequate fetal lung maturity

A

Phosphatidylglycerol and Phosphatidylinositol

144
Q

Immunological agglutination test for phosphatidyl glycerol

A

Amniostat FLM

145
Q

Provides rapid method for assessment of lung maturity

A

Amniostat FLM

146
Q

Mechanical screening test to measure the individual lung surface lipid concentration

A

Foam Test

147
Q

The production of ___normally parallels that of lecithin, but its production is delayed in cases of maternal diabetes

A

Phosphatidyl Glycerol

148
Q

The __ uses antisera containing polyclonal anti-PG antibodies that are specific for PG-containing lamellar bodies in the amniotic fluid

A

Aminostat-FLM

149
Q

test for fecal lung maturity that is not affected by specimen contamination with blood and meconium

A

Aminostat-FLM

150
Q

Until the development of biochemical techniques to measure the individual lung-surface lipid concentrations, a mechanical screening test, called the “_____ “ or “____” test, was used to determine their presence

A

foam” or “shake

151
Q

in foam shake test, what solution is used with a 95% concentration

A

ethanol

152
Q

in foam or shake test using 95% ethanol mixed with amniotic fluid, how many seconds is the solution shaken and stand after?

A

15 secs and allowed to sit undisturbed for 15 minutes

153
Q

an antifoaming agent used for shake or foam test

A

ethanol

154
Q

a positive result of shake or foam test for FTM

A

continuous line of bubbles around the outside edge

sufficient amount of phospholipid is available to reduce the surface tension of the fluid

155
Q

Surfactant is composed of approximately 90% phospholipid and 10% protein and is packaged into layered storage granules called ___

A

lamellar bodies

156
Q

__ are densely packed layers of phospholipids that represent a storage form of pulmonary surfactant

A

Lamellar bodies

157
Q

Lamellar bodies are secreted by the

A

type II pneumocytes of the fetal lung at about 24 weeks of gestation

158
Q

are absorbed into the alveolar spaces to provide surfactant

A

lamellar bodies

159
Q
A
