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.

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.
How effective is surfactant therapy?
Normally surfactant replacement therapy keeps the infant alive until the lungs start producing their own 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.
Cas number of Triton DF-20 surfactant?
28805-58-5 < 63.0 %;Anionic surfactant blend > 35.0 %
What is coconut diethanolamide?
surfactant
Breathing properly requires the presence of what compound that affects surface tension of alveoli in the lungs?
The correct answer is Surfactant
What is the difference between mucus surfactant and pleural fluid?
Surfactant is when your mum produces something bad into the mouth of your daddy
How are surfactant cella involved with keeping the alveoli from callapsing?
The surfactant doesn't allow the sides of the alveoli form sticking together. Infants that are born very early don't make surfactant and so have many problems.
Name of surfactant that breaks surface tension in the lungs?
Am pretty sure its called the pulmonary surfactant that's produced from the lungs
How can surfactant replacement therapy be avoided?
The only way to prevent the need for surfactant replacement therapy is to prevent a premature birth.
