Abstract:
The most common cause of increased premature mortality and neonatal morbidity is lung immaturity. The evaluation of fetal lung maturity plays an important role in perinatal management. Prenatal evaluation of fetal lung maturity has become the key to improve the survival rate of newborns, especially preterm infants. Ultrasound has great value in prenatal assessment. The research progresses of ultrasound in evaluation of fetal lung maturity were reviewed in this article.
