Pulmonary surfactant is a lipoprotein complex coating the conducting airways down to the terminal airspaces. Its main function is to lower surface tension at the air liquid interface thus preventing alveolar collapse at end expiration. Primary surfactant deficiency is the main cause of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and treatment with exogenous pulmonary surfactant improves the course of the disease significantly. Furthermore, secondary surfactant deficiency caused by inactivation of endogenous surfactant occurs in older patients with acute RDS (ARDS), pneumonia or meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Abnormal alveolar presence of substances like aspirated meconium or leaking serum proteins inhibits surface activity. This inact...
