Surfactant delivery in rat lungs: Comparing 3D geometrical simulation model with experimental instillation.
Surfactant Replacement Therapy (SRT), which involves instillation of a liquid-surfactant mixture directly into the lung airway tree, is a major therapeutic treatment in neonatal patients with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). This procedure has proved to be remarkably effective in premature newbo...
