RDS - anyone experienced with nebulized surfactant?
CHAKRADHAR MEDDELA replied to LIONEL's topic in technical equipment
Hi. Thanks for your reciprocation. This is my own strategy based on observations in my NICU. Nurses like this. Working well in our set up - with less resources. Survanta 8ml can be diluted with 16ml of normal saline. Now, the total diluted Surfactant is 24ml. In each setting, we give 2-2.5 ml through nebulizer at intervals of 20-30 minutes based on severity (Initial dose). This is followed by same amount of Surfactant administration but at 1-2hourly. We continue baby on CPAP or HHHFNC - Airvo 2 Fisher and Pakel. Thank you. Dr. Chakradhar Maddela -

I have not done any retrospective study. But working well. Thank you. Chakradhar Maddela. Using Survanta -
