How can surfactant replacement therapy be avoided?
The only way to prevent the need for surfactant replacement therapy is to prevent a premature birth.
How effective is surfactant therapy?
Normally surfactant replacement therapy keeps the infant alive until the lungs start producing their own surfactant.
Suppose youre a physician treating an infant with respiratory distress syndrome?
B. an artificial surfactant.
Which surfactant lacks in a new born baby?
I have never heard the surfactant called anything specific. Full term babies usually have surfactant (a mixture of lipids (fats) and proteins). Premature babies many times do not have enough surfactant to keep the alveoli of their lungs open, so artificial surfactant is put into the trachea, sometimes more than once.

A deficiency of lung surfactant may result in?
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.

What do surfactant do?
A surface-active agent 'surfactant' usually cleans something. ie -soap is a surfactant.
Surfactant that cover the respiratory membranes?
Surfactant is pleural fluid.
What does a surfactant do?
The main function or job of a surfactant is to reduce surface tension. This process is used on liquids while it dissolves.
Respiratory disorder in the neonate?
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.
