The lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio measured in amniotic fluid is useful, with a ratio above 2.0 indicating lung maturity and low risk of RDS. Between 1.5-1.9 the risk is approximately 50%, and below 1.5 the risk is 73%. 3. The tap test and shake test evaluate surfactant function in amniotic fluid and can pre
