ACS treatment speeds up your baby's lung development by prompting the cells in the lungs to produce a chemical called surfactant. Surfactant is normally produced by lung tissue in the mid- to-late third trimester. This surfactant production helps accelerate lung maturation and prevents neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) which affects
⚠️ Daptomycin is inactivated by surfactant in lung, so it cannot be used for pulmonary infection. Additional discussion: Drug-resistant
Beractant is a lung surface acting agent, or surfactant. It helps the lungs function normally. Beractant is similar to the natural fluid in the lungs that helps maintain effective breathing.
PORACTANT ALFA is a lung surfactant. Our bodies need lung surfactant to keep the lungs open during breathing. This medicine is used to treat Respiratory
Generic and brand names of lung surfactant drugs include: beractant. calfactant. Curosurf. Infasurf. poractant alfa. Survanta.
Commonly used exogenous lung surfactants include beractant, which is a bovine lung derivative; calfactant, which is a calf lung derivative; and poractant alfa, which is a porcine lung derivative. Exogenous surfactants are usually administered directly into the newborn s airways through an endotracheal, or ET tube, or via less invasive

The non-porous covering is not to keep air out of the lung, it's to keep air from entering the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall. If this happens it causes the lung to collapse, an atelectasis (partial) or pneumothorax (total)
