Extract
For the past 25 years, attempts have been made to treat respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) by administration of surfactant into the airways. This practice is not yet an accepted form of therapy. Lack of generally available surfactant during the present era of prospective studies will hopefully decrease the therapeutic misuse of this novel medicine.
