Abstract

A retrospective study is carried out with the aim of establishing the effect from surfactant therapy on pulmonary function, survival and complication from intensive therapy on VLBWI with RDS. 67 premature infants below 1500 grams are included in the study divided in 3 groups: I gr.--27 babies treated with Corosurf; II gr.--16 babies treated with Exosurf; III gr.--24 control babies without surfactant. The results show that in spite of relatively lower gestational age and higher incidence of inborn infection in group I, Curosurf treated babies spend shortest time on mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy showing lower incidence of BPD, IVH and mortality rate.
