Publisher's Synopsis

This book reflects the recent surge of interest in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory distress syndrome, in both neonates and adults, which has led to an increased understanding of the function of the lung's surfactant system. The book covers relevant maturational events of the fetal lung, the proteins associated with surfactants, the prevention and treatment of RDS and ARDS, therapeutics, and replacement therapy.
