Effect of exogenous surfactant on total respiratory system compliance

A D Milner et al. Arch Dis Child. 1984 Apr.

Abstract

We measured total respiratory system compliance (Crs) before and after instilling 25 mg artificial surfactant in 1 ml saline down the endotracheal tube of preterm babies requiring resuscitation at birth, and compared results with data from 6 similar babies receiving saline only. Surfactant did not produce a significant improvement in Crs.
