  5. 3. Ante partum determination of lactate in amniotic fluid

    Author : Eva Wiberg-Itzel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Lactate; amniotic fluid; PROM; onset of labour;

    Abstract : Background: The present studies were conducted to investigate whether lactate determination in vaginal fluids, 'Lac-test', could be used as a diagnostic test for prelabour rupture of membranes (PROM). To derive the best cut-off value for a positive test and to asses weather lactate determination in vaginal fluid was associated with, and could predict, onset of labour for woman with suspect PROM.
