Pressure transmission during minimally invasive surfactant administration is significantly reduced or totally absent. Pressure drop occurs despite the increased airway resistances and the airflow limitation due to the tracheal catheterization, but is independent from the type of pressure generator and interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
