Q

Surfactant is produced in utero as fetal lungs mature (____). What does surfactant do? What happens if there is no surfactant alveoli?

A

34-36 weeks

Surfactant reduces surface tension in alveoli; without surfactant, alveoli would collapse with each breath

Q

Describe the initiation of respirations.

A
  1. Fetal lungs are filled with AF
  2. That fluid is forced from lungs when fetus is delivered (“Vaginal squeeze”)
  3. The baby chest wall expands as pressure from maternal pelvis is relaxed
  4. The lowered pressure from chest expansion draws air into lungs

*C/s dont experience this pressing of AF so more likely to have bubbly lung fields
