Summary

Description Credits: Howard M. Listwa. In order to answer the question presented in the title, researchers measured the rate of infection among monitored patients, organized by the amount of hours monitored. Overall, researchers concluded that infections correlated with more hours monitored. In addition, the rate of E.coli, rate of bacteria, and amount of organisms found in amniotic fluid are all recorded in relation to rate of infection. The presenter concludes that the study of amniotic fluid to detect the presence of white blood cells and bacteria is not valuable in trying to detect chances of infection in a patient.
