A surface-active agent 'surfactant' usually cleans something. ie -soap is a surfactant.
Surfactant is pleural fluid.
The main function or job of a surfactant is to reduce surface tension. This process is used on liquids while it dissolves.
Normally surfactant replacement therapy keeps the infant alive until the lungs start producing their own surfactant.
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.

The correct answer is Surfactant
Surfactant is when your mum produces something bad into the mouth of your daddy
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.
Am pretty sure its called the pulmonary surfactant that's produced from the lungs
The only way to prevent the need for surfactant replacement therapy is to prevent a premature birth.
