Artificial surfactant therapy in hyaline-membrane disease.
Ten preterm infants severely ill with hyaline-membrane disease (HMD) were given artificial surfactant endotracheally. Oxygenation and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradients improved, the levels of inspired oxygen and peak respirator pressure could be reduced, and many of the radiological abnormalities resolved. Acidosis and systemic hypotension were also reversed. In nine infants a patent ductus ar...
متن کاملArtificial surfactant therapy for hyaline membrane disease
The demonstration that the lungs of infants who died with hyaline membrane disease (HMD) had abnormal surface properties' prompted a number of attempts to treat the condition by administration of material with surface tension-lowering properties. The substance mainly used for this purpose during the period 1964-7 was synthetic dipalmitoyllecithin (DPL) prepared as an aerosol either in a mixture...
متن کاملHyaline membrane disease (HMD): the role of the perinatal pathologist
Hyaline membrane disease (HMD), the pathologic correlate of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of the newborn, is an acute lung disease of premature infant caused by inadequate amounts of surfactant. Decreased surfactant results in insufficient surface tension in the alveolus during expiration, leading to atelectasis, decreased gas exchange, severe hypoxia and acidosis. HMD predominantly occur...
متن کاملAnother approach to assisted ventilation in the treatment of hyaline membrane disease (HMD).
Authors’ address: Howard S. Gruber and Marshall H. Klaus, Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Cleveland, O. (USA) Thirty-six infants (mean birthweight 1709 g) with severe HMD were treated with intermittent mask and bag ventilation as an alternative to the mechanical respirator. Previous therapy with oxygen, NaHCO7⁄8, glucose infusion and thermoregulation was judge...
متن کاملPrevention of Hyaline Membrane Disease
The high mortality of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants and the relative ineffectiveness of treatment' make two recent reports of special interest. They are clinical studies2 3 which attempt to clarify the role of corticosteroids in prevention and treatment. New forms of treatment for this puzzling disorder have sometimes been introduced without adequate trials, so that it is h...
