Are There Any Risks Associated with Aerosolized Surfactants?
While aerosolized surfactants offer numerous benefits, there are potential risks and challenges, such as:
1. Incomplete delivery: Ensuring that the full dose reaches the lungs can be challenging. 2. Device limitations: Not all nebulizers are equally effective in delivering aerosolized surfactants. 3. Side effects: Some infants may experience transient side effects like coughing or bronchospasm.
