Surfactant therapy
This document discusses rational surfactant therapy. It begins by establishing that surfactant replacement therapy works based on multiple randomized controlled trials showing reductions in mortality, duration of ventilation and hospital stay. It describes the types of surfactants available and recommends natural surfactants. The document discusses the timing of surfactant replacement, benefits of multiple doses, and synergistic effects with antenatal steroids. Ventilatory management after surfactant including INSURE technique is covered, along with risks of the therapy.

- 13. •The animal surfactantshave phospholipid compositions similar to that of natural surfactant; they contain some SP-B and SP-C, but no SP-A. • The surfactant approved for use in the United States is Survanta (beractant, Ross Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio) prepared by mincing bovine lungs in saline and extracting the lipids, SP-B, and SP-C with organic solvents. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, palmitic acid, and triglyceride are then added to improve the surface properties of the extract •.

May lead to some infants being over treated, and possibly being exposed to adverse effects, unnecessarily. Dr Ajay Agade
- 21. ARE MULTIPLE DOSESMORE BENEFICIAL ? Dr Ajay Agade
- 22. Multiple doses ofsurfactant have been given in most trials because the response to an individual dose is often transient. In preterm animals, exogenously administered surfactant is can be inhibited by soluble proteins and other factors in the small airways and alveoli. Multiple doses are thought to be useful because they can overcome this functional inactivation of surfactant. Pediatrics 1991 Dr Ajay Agade

Editor's Notes
- #2 Thanks m for explaining us the physiology in detail…moving on to the next part of presentation….as already introduced rds is a big prob in preterm babies and the risk exponentially rise with decreasing gestation…as much as that 80% of babies below gestation 27 weeks may land into rds…
- #3 So what are the interventions avaible….starting with basics of essential newborn care including the the temp management fluid and elctrolyte calculation along with managing oxygenation and ventilation constitutes the management of respiratory destress syndrome previously called as hmd….many of them will do fine with simple intervention mentioned…some will require cpap and some might require advance therapies like surfactant therapy………this presentation focuses on the surfactant therapy in rds…
- #4 The first and formost question is does it work…what is the proper timing to give …..which type whether natural or synthetic….how many doses…then we will be discussing what is the methodology
- #5 So the first question is does it wotks…being a novel therapy many of us are not comfortabel with surfactant therapy..the critics qustion its usefullness and those who are convinced raise the question of being costly and its cost effectiveness….this presentation is based upon the evidences collected from databse…
- #6 If we search neonatal databases maximum rcts in neonatalogy are attributed to surfactant therapy ….most of the systemic reviews and metaanylysises gives us good strength in answering the questions I put in the first slide
- #7 In may 1994 NEJM published a very significant data which concluded that
- #8 Within 5 years of the previous publication aap labaled exogenous surf therapy as standard preventive and therpeutic modality of management in case of prematurity related surf def..in front of u on the screen is the statement issued by commete on fetus and newborn….
- #9 So what is the indian status the first case controll study came in 2001 by narang which concluded that both the duration of ventilation and hospital stay reduced significantly in treated patients,…..secondly the complication which are in fact more with prematurity where also found to be reduced which was attributed to the overall respiratory well being of these patients…..this was one of the first kind of studies which prooved cost effectiveness of surfctant despite the critisism in our country….
- #10 Phospholipids 80% Saturated phosphatidyl choline Unsaturated phosphatidyl choline Phosphatidyl glycerol Phosphadityl inositol Neutral lipids 8% Proteins 12% (SP - A, SP - B, SP- C, SP - D) formation secretion and regulation
- #11 Pramarily of two types the natural ones these are the Animal lungs extracts and the sunthetic one..what intersts us here is the natural one.. I ll be discussing this over next few slides…The natural ones are prepared from variety of animals..from bovine its called as survanta…calflung its called exosurf and porcine called as curosurf….
- #12 Lets see what the databse says about tis…In 2005 cochrane stated that natural surfactant decreases ventialtoty requirement and also other complication….. Although it increases chance of IVH but if compared to the currently available synthetic product they are all the way superior
- #13 So cochrane came with final conclusion that ……
- #14 Lets try to underastand this on pv loop If we compare the efficacy of available surfactants here on this pv curve it clearly seems that the lower opening pressure required are much less with natural surfactant …further if we compare the opening pressures amongst natural one sheep extract scores highest in efficacy….we in our unit use cursosurf whose efficacy lies between sheep extract and survanta…..
- #16 This is simple digram depicting alveoli with deficient surfactant because the surface tension working inside the alveoli, the alveoli tend to collapse….because of surfactant in alveoli the collapsibility decreases….This small video explain the physiology..i don’t know its visible properly…coin is floating over water because of surface tension..now if we administer surf…the air liquid interface breaks and coin sinks…..
- #17 If we try to understand this on respiratory mechanics it will look like this…This is pressure volume loop showing difference between rd lung and normal lung…if we see the lower opening pressure in rds its 15..its less than 10 somewhere here…if u see the change in volume with pressure there is exponential rise and exponential decay in normal lung while its very very poor in hMD…..as we all know minute ventilation is a basic of respiratory function…..
- #18 Now the last querry which chalanges the usefullness is whether surf interfers with the normal physiology answer is no….surf do not inhibit the synthesis of endogenous surf……in fact not only surf has postive effect on lung mechanics it also gets recycled in making of natural surf
- #19 Timing of surf administration emerged as single most important factor as for as the outcome of rds is concerned….administering the surfactant within two hours of birth as a matter of fact in labour room itself is called as prophylactic therapy…….these patients are identified as at risk of RDS depending on gestation and then selected for prohylactic therapy (jusifiable in 27 weeker where incidence is very very high)…another form is administering surf once the signs and symp develop or after radiological cinfirmation this is called as rescue therapy…….this is further divided in early and late rescue depending upon the timin after disgnosis….
- #20 So what the database has to asy about this…The metanalysis done from pooled data of 5o rct revealed that there will be less comlication and less death with prohylactic therpy….although this is an establisted fact that prophylaxis is better than rescue I want to bring to an attention some practical problems with prophylaxis therapy…..lets se
- #21 What are the facts regarding ……..We had the twins one developed rds another remained stable
- #24 Before we procede to actual procedure I want to emhasis the importence of antenatal steroids…eventhogh we have a novel drug with us now we should never forget the importence of an steroids as cornerstone in preventing occurrence and severity of rds. Its been 100 year eve more an steroid still hold their position
- #26 ……the established facts are
- #27 Start video…pause focusing subject…give details bout history no antinatal steroids… gestation symptopms ….show xary …start video again….take pauses when reqd….B/0 priyanka…born to a primi mother with gestation of 31 weeks weighing 1990 grams..developed sign syp of rds within 2 hours and we decided to treat this baby wid surf…I want to emphasise here that they did not received an steroids…..
- #28 What was done next on this baby was something called as INSURE protocol…..it says….so we follows exactly the same…..
- #29 Lets see what the evidence has to say….it says that
- #30 This is our baby which was extubated within 4 hours of surf therapy…baby was put on buble CPAP and then further weaned to oxygen by hood and with good supportive therapy we were able to discharge this baby on …day of her life
- #31 Coming to the last part of discussion…its time to duscuss the problems of surfactant administartion
- #32 Increase in ph as compares to normal term subjects….If u compare wit incidence of ph in preterm itself its very less…on the contrary by preventing the complication of prematurity its actually reduces the incidence of ph
- #34 Surf is expensive yes its true….1.5 ml of surf cost arround 12000 however it should alwys be kept in mind that This was already prooved in mumbai based study of narang
- #35 Yes first and foremost thing is the skills…monitoring ventilatory strategy and supportive therAPY….most important in surf therapy is insure…what are the other things ……
