Calf Pulmonary Surfactant

In preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), exogenous pulmonary surfactant(PS) replacement therapy is one of the most important therapeutic breakthrough to reduce neonatal incidences of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) and/or death. But not all preterm infants with RDS can be beneficial. Otherwise, the international neonatal acute RDS (NARDS) collaborative group provides the first consensus definition for NARDS in 2017. And whether or not PS being beneficial in preterm infants with NARDS remains unknown.
