Aerosol delivery of synthetic lung surfactant
Background. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is a widely accepted technique of non-invasive respiratory support in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome due to lack of lung surfactant. If this approach fails, the next step is often intubation, mechanical ventilation (MV) and intratracheal instillation of clinical lung surfactant. Objective. To investigate whether...
متن کاملBeneficial effects of synthetic KL₄ surfactant in experimental lung transplantation.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether intratracheal administration of a new synthetic surfactant that includes the cationic, hydrophobic 21-residue peptide KLLLLKLLLLKLLLLKLLLLK (KL₄), might be effective in reducing ischaemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation. Single left lung transplantation was performed in Landrace pigs 22 h post-harvest. KL₄ surfactant at a dose of 25...
متن کاملDirect lung delivery of para-aminosalicylic acid by aerosol particles.
Para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS), a tuberculostatic agent, was formulated into large porous particles for direct delivery into the lungs via inhalation. These particles possess optimized physical properties for deposition throughout the respiratory tract, a drug loading of 95% by weight and physical stability over 4 weeks at elevated temperatures. Upon insufflation in rats, PAS concentrations wer...
متن کاملLung recruitment strategy and surfactant in delivery room.
The aim of neonatal resuscitation is to establish an effective ventilation, avoiding lung damage. PEEP and T-piece use, as well as Sustained Lung Inflation, lower O2 target and appropriately timed surfactant administration analyzed. A new "gentle" respiratory approach in delivery room can improve newborn respiratory outcome.
متن کاملAerosol Characteristics of 99 mTc . pentetic Acid ( DTPA ) and Synthetic Surfactant
This study evaluated the feasibility of using Te-pentetic acid (DTPA) as a radioactive tracer for aerosolized synthetic surfactant (DPFC, cetyl alcohol, tyloxapol). The “Tc-DTPA was admixed with surfactant and aerosolized using a nebulizer system interfaced to a ventilator with a cascade impactor attached to the endotracheal tube. Particle size distribution for DPPC, cetyl alcohol, and ‘Tc-DTPA...
