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

We use Curosurf (Karolinska, Stockholm)

We use Curosurf...

We use Surventa 100mg/kg.what is the dose of curosuf? Thanks,

thank you!

initial dose 2.5mL/kg birth weight http://www.curosurf.com/UI/pdfs/CurosurfUsersGuide.pdf

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?

We use infasurf(calvactant). Dose is 3ml/kg/dose

for the baby less than one kilogram we use curosurf, but for the bigger baby survanta

We use Curosurf

we are using survanta. Riyadh Saudi Arabia

We use Curosurf (200mg/kg initial dose)

we use surfanta but pul hge usually occured after that, but it is not occur with curosurfe

any one know why??????????

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.

We use curosurf too.

Can I ask how give it ...all at once or fraction it , are u change position or not ....I want to know ideal practice

We give it as a slow bolus, body lying flat and head/nose straight up.

We too in bolus 2-3 min. Body lying flat and head/nose straight up.

But..what about dose???

 

 

Here you have some literature, nashwa:

we prefer Curosurf than survanta as the volume is less and ease of administration

100 or 200 mg/ kg of curosurf??

We use 200mg/kg for the first use (after a sustained lung inflation at delivery room) and 100mg/kg for the next doses if needed

We have iniciated 200 mg/kg, if tolerated, with catheter.

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.

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.

Are you using LISA procedure??

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/23446061

I 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 )

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.

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.
