title: [Detection of the RDS risk from postnatally sampled stomach contents].
abstract: The results of foam tests carried out on postnatal stomach contents from 267 neonates were analyzed to see whether a correlation can be found between the incidence of RDS and the foam-test values. The test proved to be a good indicator in the recognition of RDS. If ++, + positive, on negative foam-tests are obtained development of RDS can be expected in about 60% of the cases. By this quick and simple test neonates with the risk of RDS can be screened off and transported in time to centres of intensive care.
