Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a frequent cause of respiratory distress in term infants. Recent reports suggested that surfactant dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of MAS. In the present study, we assessed the effect of three different concentrations of surfactant suspensions in
## Abstract This study was designed to study effects of lung lavage versus the classical bolus instillation with a peptideβbased synthetic surfactant (lucinactant) in a model of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS). Eighteen newborn lambs received meconium and were randomized to: the experimental mec
