Q

Which require surfactant:

  • 29 infant with no symp being transferred
  • critically ill w/ 3 doses in first 18 h
  • infant w/ RDS intubated and need 50% after 72hr
A

Intubated infant with RDS before transplant (not well infant)

More than 3 doses= no benefit

No evidence for use after > 72 hr

THUS: 29 infant transfer

Q

Outcome in neo since surfactant started:

  • decreased mortality
  • decreased BPD
  • increased air leak
  • increased IVH
  • decreased PDA
A

Decreased mortality

EBM:

  • reduced air leak (pneumo) and mortality from RDS
  • reduces morbidity (oxygenation, pneumothorax, pul interstitial emphysema/ PIE, duration on vent support)
  • increases likelihood of surviving without BPD largely by improving survival rather than BPD incidence
    • Does NOT reduce INCIDENCE of CLD

Q

  • Intubated + MAS + FiO2 > 50%
  • Intubated w/ pul hemm
  • Sick + OI > 15

** < 29 wk GA outside tertiary care consider immediate intubation and surfactant after stabilization.

** if significant risk RDS should get propyl. within few min. of intubation
