Abstract
Surfactants have been routinely used since 1990 for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The use of surfactant has coincided with a decrease in mortality in infants due to RDS. This review focuses on clinical aspects of surfactant use. New information, particularly effects of ventilatory styles on surfactant function, is presented.
