Posted June 23, 201212 yr Hi All, I was wondering what kind of surfactant you use at your hospital, where your hospital is located, and if you have a personal preference for one of the surfactants. Thanks, Nicole
June 25, 201212 yr Author initial dose 2.5mL/kg birth weight http://www.curosurf.com/UI/pdfs/CurosurfUsersGuide.pdf
June 25, 201212 yr We use Curosurf as well here at Medical University Vienna, Austria. 200mg/kg for first dose. I was curious about the user guide. How do you apply Curosurf - all at once or fraction to both sides?
June 26, 201212 yr for the baby less than one kilogram we use curosurf, but for the bigger baby survanta
April 25, 201312 yr we use surfanta but pul hge usually occured after that, but it is not occur with curosurfe any one know why??????????
April 2, 201411 yr comment_7602 Please. We are using MIST or LISA, since a year. Does anybody use 200 mg/kg of surfactant with this way of surfactant administración? We started at 100 mg/ kg, but now we are thinking about 200 mg/ kg. What do you think? Thank you.
April 4, 201411 yr Can I ask how give it ...all at once or fraction it , are u change position or not ....I want to know ideal practice
April 5, 201411 yr Can I ask how give it ...all at once or fraction it , are u change position or not ....I want to know ideal practiceWe give it as a slow bolus, body lying flat and head/nose straight up.
April 5, 201411 yr comment_7616 We too in bolus 2-3 min. Body lying flat and head/nose straight up. But..what about dose???

April 12, 201411 yr we prefer Curosurf than survanta as the volume is less and ease of administration
April 23, 201411 yr We use 200mg/kg for the first use (after a sustained lung inflation at delivery room) and 100mg/kg for the next doses if neededInviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk
May 1, 201411 yr comment_7673 We use Curosurf at most of centres in UK. Curosurf has been shown to be superior to Survanta –as it acts more rapidly and may improve survival at 36 weeks post conceptual age. Survanta also requires larger volumes to be given via the ETT and is therefore associated with more difficulties in administration. There is also evidence for reduced mortality using 200mg/kg Curosurf vs 100mg/kg Survanta.

Infant 2005; 1:8-12 Halliday HL, Tarnow-Mordi WO, Corcoran JD, Paterson CC 1993: Multicentre randomised trial comparing high and low dose surfactant regimens for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (Curosurf 4 trial). Archives of Diseases in Childhood 69: 276-280 Sufficient information is not available on the effects of administering initial doses of CUROSURF other than 2.5 mL/kg (200 mg/kg), subsequent doses other than 1.25 mL/kg (100 mg/kg), administration of more than three total doses, dosing more frequently than every 12 hours, or initiating therapy with CUROSURF more than 15 hours after diagnosing RDS. Adequate data are not available on the use of CUROSURF in conjunction with experimental therapies of RDS, e.g., high-frequency ventilation.The FDA-approved initial dose of CUROSURF is 200 mg/kg (2.5 mL/kg). The 100 mg/kg (1.25 mL/kg) dose is approved for repeat dosing only.Clinical studies have not established that fewer doses, lower volume, or longer dosing intervals result in superior safety or efficacy based on clinically relevant end points.

May 21, 201411 yr Are you using LISA procedure??We still use the INSURE procedure ("intubation, surfactant, extubation")(For those not familiar with "LISA" it means "Less invasive surfactant administration"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23446061I am not certain but I guess that LISA is the same procedure as MIST, i.e. "Minimally-invasive surfactant therapy"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22684154 )
May 21, 201411 yr comment_7728 Yes, it is the same. But inicial dose of surfcactant in the reports is 100 mg/kg. We now are using 200 mg/kg ( first 100 and if tolered again 100 mg/kg) We don't use sedation.
June 12, 201411 yr We use infasurf here 3ml/kg and instill half of the dose over 1-2 mins with one side of the baby up so the surfactant migrates to that side and then bag for 60 secs at slightly higher pressures then rotate the baby to the other side up and instil the other half.. If the baby is flat its hard to tell if the deposition of the surfactant if equal on both sides of the lungs.
