The use of surfactant in the neonatal period- the known aspects, those still under research and those which need to be investigated further.
Türk Pediatri Arşivi 2014 March
Respiratory distress syndrome is pulmoner insufficiency caused by the lack of surfactant and the main reason of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Mothers at high risk of preterm birth should be transferred to perinatal centers with experience for respiratory distress syndrome and ante-natal steroids should be given before 35 weeks' of gestational age. Surfactant treatment should be applied to babies with or at high risk for respiratory distress syndrome. Prophylaxis should be given to infants of <26 weeks of gestational age and to infants requiring entubation in the delivery room. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure should be considered in infants with complete steroid treatment and without entubation need. Early surfactant may be given if entubation is performed during follow-up. Natural forms of surfactant should be preferred when needed. If the infant is stable, early extubation and non-invasive respiratory support should be considered. In this review, the recent studies' current data about surfactant treatment will be discussed.
