Man-made pulmonary surfactant

edit

A discussion of man-made, artificial pulmonary surfactant would be useful in this article. (And at Infant respiratory distress syndrome; I added this note there also.) 24.127.110.79 16:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Added listing of current artificial pulmonary surfactants here. Under IRDS still could use discussion of treatment outcomes with different types. Hallbrianh 19:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

values

edit

The values listed within the "compliance" section do not agree with their units. This sentence: "The normal surface tension for water is 70 dyn/cm (70 nN/m) and in the lungs it is 25 dyn/cm (25 mN/m); however...". 70dyn/cm should equal .7N/m. Lombar2 (talk) 07:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

70 dyn/cm = 70 mN/m = 0.07 N/m BubNorr (talk) 21:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Use and impact of pulmonary surfactant

edit

Is it just me, or does the article mention nowhere when it was first used in neonatology? 118.209.155.46 (talk) 11:11, 30 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
