What is Curosurf and how is it used?

Curosurf is an FDA-approved medication used to treat respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. RDS occurs when babies are born before their lungs can produce enough surfactant, a substance that keeps the air sacs from collapsing. Curosurf is a natural surfactant, sourced from pigs, that is administered directly into the infant's windpipe (intratracheally) through a tube. A trained healthcare professional in a neonatal setting performs this procedure. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined by the baby's doctor based on factors like weight and clinical response. Each vial is for single use only, and the infant requires close monitoring during and after administration to adjust oxygen and ventilator support as needed.
