Effect of exogenous surfactant on total respiratory system compliance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We measured total respiratory system compliance (Crs) before and after instilling 25 mg artificial surfactant in 1 ml saline down the endotracheal tube of preterm babies requiring resuscitation at birth, and compared results with data from 6 similar babies receiving saline only. Surfactant did not produce a significant improvement in Crs.

Lodixanol inhibits exogenous surfactant therapy in rats with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Optimal alveolar distribution of exogenous surfactant is an important determinant of its beneficial effect. This distribution can be determined by suspending surfactant in a radiological contrast medium before intratracheal instillation, followed by radiological imaging. Iodixanol is reported to be a safe contrast medium that causes no lung injury when instilled intratracheally. In this study, ...
متن کاملExogenous pulmonary surfactant for acute respiratory distress syndrome in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is often characterized by reduced lung compliance, which suggests dysfunction of the endogenous surfactant system. The effectiveness of exogenous surfactants as replacements for the endogenous system in the treatment of ARDS in adults was assessed. Randomized controlled trials from Medline (1950-2011), Embase (1989-2011), the Cochrane Database of Syste...
متن کاملComparison of functional efficacy of surfactant protein B analogues in lavaged rats.
Leakage of plasma proteins into the alveoli inhibits pulmonary surfactant function and worsens respiratory failure. Surfactant protein B (SP-B), is essential for surfactant function, but the N-terminal domain of human SP-B (residues 1.25, SP-B1-25) can mimic the biophysical properties of full length SP-B1-78 in vitro. The authors compared the function and inhibition resistance of synthetic surf...
متن کاملBiophysical and physiological properties of a modified porcine surfactant enriched with surfactant protein A.
Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a major protein component of natural pulmonary surfactant, is absent in exogenous surfactants currently used in clinical practice. We investigated the physical and physiological properties of one of these modified natural surfactants (Curosurf) after enrichment with 5% SP-A (SP-A-Curosurf). A pulsating bubble system was used for in vitro assessments and ventilated n...
