Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants/Neonates Prophylactic and early surfactant administration Later surfactant administration O: Reduced mortality and pulmonary complications (Bronchopulmonary dysplasia-BPD and other) Surfactant therapy involves intervention via various methods like oxygen, CPAP, mechanical ventilation, and surfactant. Many ask if surfactant therapy works. They also ask what is the ideal dose and when to administer the dose. Too much and too late could cause problems versus early with a low dose. When

The Function and Importance of Surfactant: Lab ReportIntroductionThe purpose of this lab report is to demonstrate the function and importance of surfactants using household products. Surfactants play an important role in the respiratory system, whereby they coat the alveoli walls of the lungs (National Library of Medicine - NLM, 2017). According to the NLM, the ability of surfactants to coat the alveoli walls is rooted in their surface tension reducing

correctly identify opportunities and threats to the products of soap and laundry detergent. Specifically, three marketing environment forces will be identified that impact this type of products. These include environmental quality factors such as sewage treatment and other environmental pollution issues in the detergent manufacturing plants, allergies to chemicals or other ingredients in the products themselves and product changes dictated by various changes in washing machines. In the essay,

Introduction BPD or bronchopulmonary dysplasia represents a chronic ailment of the lungs, largely occurring among premature babies requiring oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation for treating severe respiratory distress. It may also develop among immature babies displaying symptoms of early lung-related illness or babies born at their term but requiring rigorous ventilator therapy to treat serious lung ailments. In the last four decades, prenatal steroid administration, surfactant therapy, better nutrition, novel ventilator

Legislation on liability and compensation is needed. The United States should ratify the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 1984 Protocols. Federal planning for oil spills must be improved. Studies of the long-term environmental and health effects must be undertaken expeditiously and carefully. How NOAA responds to spills? NOAA is a 24/7 service that monitors and waits for a help if there is a spill. They help protect and conserve the natural resources. As soon as they

Discussions 1 The mechanics of breathing are greatly compromised in each of the cases in the following manners: infant respiratory distress syndrome leads air sacs to collapse when air is expired and increases the energy needed to breathe; emphysema leads to air sacs becoming damaged and enlarged, which makes it difficult to breathe; and pulmonary fibrosis leads to air sacs becoming scarred, which makes it difficult to breathe. The physiology that plays a
