Nebulisation of surfactants in an animal model of neonatal respiratory distress
Abstract
AIMS: To evaluate pulmonary deposition and gas exchange following nebulisation of two surfactants by either a jet or an ultrasonic nebuliser.
METHOD: After bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), 19 rabbits were ventilated in four groups. Group A1 (n = 5) and A2 (n = 6) received Technetium-99m labelled Exosurf, and groups B1 (n = 4) and B2 (n = 4) received radiolabelled Survanta. Groups A1 and B1 received jet nebuliser therapy, whereas groups A2 and B2 …
