The lung float test was described in the 1670s by Hungarian botanist Károly Rayger and first performed in 1681.
German physician Johannes Schreyer performed a lung float test in 1690
Remove the lungs (with trachea/bronchi) from the infant during autopsy.
Place them in water (usually a container of clean water).
Observe flotation:
If the lungs float, it suggests aeration (breathing) → live birth.
If they sink, it may suggest stillbirth or lack of respiration.
