Abstract:We hypothesized that animals treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure following surfactant administration (NCPAP+S) would have decreased inflammatory markers and pathologic lung injury compared with those treated with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation following surfactant administration (SIMV+S) or NCPAP without surfactant administration (NCPAP-S).MethodsWe compared NCPAP+S, SIMV+S, and NCPAP-S in spontaneously breathing piglets with saline lavage induced lung injury (PaO2 of 80-100… Show more
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.
