متن کاملSurfactant Replacement Therapy: Benefits and Risks
Surfactant deficiency at birth makes it difficult for the newborn to inflate its lungs. As the infant makes increasingly vigorous attempts to ventilate noncompliant lungs, delayed adsorption of lung fluid, pulmonary edema, extravasation of plasma proteins into air spaces, and lung injury occur, which cause progressive respiratory distress. Intratracheal administration of surfactant into the inf...
