Patients with ARDS show improvement but not normalisation of alveolar surface activity with surfactant treatment: putative role of neutral lipids.
BACKGROUND Extensive biochemical and biophysical changes of the pulmonary surfactant system occur in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS The effect of intrabronchial administration of a recombinant surfactant protein C-based surfactant preparation (Venticute) on gas exchange, surfactant composition and function was investigated in 31 patients with ARDS in a randomised cont...
متن کاملSurfactant alteration and replacement in acute respiratory distress syndrome
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a frequent, life-threatening disease in which a marked increase in alveolar surface tension has been repeatedly observed. It is caused by factors including a lack of surface-active compounds, changes in the phospholipid, fatty acid, neutral lipid, and surfactant apoprotein composition, imbalance of the extracellular surfactant subtype distributi...
متن کاملHypersensitivity Reaction and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Pyrethroid Poisoning and Role of Steroid Therapy
Background: Pyrethroids are generally of low toxicity to humans, but in suicidal poisonings which are usually associated with ingestion of high doses, they lead to severe systemic effects. Case Report: A 30-year old woman presented to emergency department with a history of intentional ingestion of about 15 mL of prallethrin around 3 days earlier. She complained of shortness of breath along with...
متن کاملPulmonary surfactant
Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins that, by modulating surface tension during breathing, prevents alveolar collapse at exhalation and overdistention at inspiration. Surfactant is synthesized by type II pneumocytes, assembled in lamellar bodies and secreted at the air-liquid interface of the alveolus. This surface-active material is re-uptaken by alveolar type II ce...
متن کاملExogenous surfactant in acute respiratory distress syndrome: more is better.
Pulmonary surfactant is a complex of highly active phospholipids and proteins that cover the alveolar epithelial surface of the lungs [1]. Surfactant is synthesized in the alveolar type-II cells, stored in the lamellar bodies, and secreted to the alveolar space where it undergoes complex changes [2]. The composition of lung surfactant in humans is very constant, although it may change in diseas...
