To evaluate blood gases and ventilatory parameters before and after two doses of surfactant in premature infants with respiratory decompensation after recovery from primary respiratory distress ...

Newborn pigs (age 1–2 d old) were initially anesthetized with intramuscular ketamine (50 mg/kg/dose). The internal carotid artery and external jugular vein were catheterized for monitoring blood gases ...

This cost-consequence analysis suggests selective early rescue surfactant administration strategies are associated with a lower healthcare burden in premature infants with RDS. CARY, N.C., Nov. 29, ...

BLEScath™ Intratracheal catheter for less invasive administration of pulmonary surfactant NRDS is a challenge mitigated by integrated scientific solutions. LONDON, Ontario, May 10, 2022 (GLOBE ...

Surfactant therapy has become a routine for neonatal respiratory care and already proved to reduce morbidity and mortality in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. The surfactant replacement has ...

Previous results from our trial of early treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus early surfactant treatment in infants showed no significant difference in the outcome of death ...

Newborns who lack natural surfactants develop respiratory distress syndrome. Surfactants are materials that reduce liquid surface tension, enabling carbon dioxide and oxygen to easily exchange as ...

Delivery of surfactant through endotracheal intubation has been the most commonly used technique. But there are two major problems associated with endotracheal intubation: it requires expertise and ...

A recent medical technique, known as less invasive surfactant administration (LISA), has been started at J.K. Lon Government Children’s Hospital here for treatment of lung disease or respiratory ...

The lung provides an extensive surface area mediating gas exchange between epithelial cells and the capillaries in the alveolus. Since lung cells are in direct contact with environmental gases and ...
