Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of goat lung surfactant extract (GLSE) against bovine surfactant extract (beractant) for treating neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants.
- Conducted as a double-blind analysis in Indian centers, results showed no significant difference in death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) rates between GLSE and beractant, although GLSE required significantly more repeat doses.
- The findings suggest that goat lung surfactant is less effective than beractant for RDS treatment, leading to the need for further investigation of its efficacy and potential strategies for improvement.
