Pulmonary Surfactant and Atelectasis
Anesthesiology, 1964Surface activity of atelectatic lung extracts was studied with a surface film balance. All 16 atelectatic specimens demonstrated decreased surface activity regardless of etiology. Of those 12 not associated with pneumonia, contiguous lung tissue was normally surface active. Only atelectatic portions, no matter how tiny, were inactive.

The Pulmonary Surfactant System
Hospital Practice, 1990Surfactant's importance is underscored by the severe morbidity of deficiency states--primary, as in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, or secondary, as in ARDS. Current knowledge of surfactant synthesis and metabolism is reviewed. Clinically, the effectiveness of exogenous surfactant in RDS has prompted investigation of its administration in ARDS.

Reference is made to classic studies pointing to the existence of lung surfactants in the alveolar lining layer and more recent investigations of their chemical nature. Attention is also given to work on biochemical and lung elasticity modifications caused by the employment of various drugs.

Surfactant in Pulmonary Disease
New England Journal of Medicine, 1965THOUGH Neergaard pointed out thirty-five years ago1 that the properties of pulmonary alveolar surfaces must influence the function of the lungs and Macklin2 suggested more than ten years ago that certain alveolar epithelial cells may regulate these properties, their proposals received little attention. More recently it was deduced3 from the behavior of

Smoking and Pulmonary Surfactant
New England Journal of Medicine, 1972Elsewhere in this issue of the Journal Finley and Ladman report further intriguing observations on the material obtained by regional lavage from the lungs of healthy young cigarette smokers and non...
