Normally surfactant replacement therapy keeps the infant alive until the lungs start producing their own surfactant.
The only way to prevent the need for surfactant replacement therapy is to prevent a premature birth.
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common respiratory disorder in neonates, especially premature babies. It is caused by immature lung development and lack of surfactant, resulting in breathing difficulties. Treatment may include oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and surfactant replacement therapy.
Both are effective. It depends upon the needs of the client. Either therapist can do an assessment to determine which therapy would be most effective for a particular client.
Surfactant is administered primarily to treat or prevent respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants, whose lungs may not produce enough surfactant naturally. Surfactant reduces surface tension in the alveoli, helping to keep them open and improve gas exchange. This treatment can significantly enhance lung function and reduce the risk of complications associated with RDS. Additionally, surfactant therapy may be used in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to improve oxygenation.
A deficiency of lung surfactant may result in difficulty breathing, decreased lung compliance, and an increased risk of lung collapse or atelectasis. It can also lead to respiratory distress syndrome, especially in premature infants. Treatment often involves providing artificial surfactant therapy.
Electroconvulsive therapy is safe and effective.
Family therapy is only effective if everyone involved wants help and wants to make the situation better. If everyone is willing, therapy can be very helpful.

does narrative therapy only uses few councelling techniques
A surface-active agent 'surfactant' usually cleans something. ie -soap is a surfactant.

Some studies indicate that laser therapy is the most effective method of smoking cessation, with an extraordinarily high success rate.
