New surfactant with SP-B and C analogs gives survival benefit after inactivation in preterm lambs.

New surfactant with SP-B and C analogs gives survival benefit after inactivation in preterm lambs.

BACKGROUND: Respiratory distress syndrome in preterm babies is caused by a pulmonary surfactant deficiency, but also by its inactivation due to various conditions, including plasma protein leakage. Surfactant replacement therapy is well established, but clinical observations and in vitro experiments...
