What are the Types of Surfactant Used in Treatment?
There are different types of surfactant used in clinical practice, including natural and synthetic surfactants. Natural surfactants are derived from animal lungs (e.g., bovine or porcine), while synthetic surfactants are manufactured to mimic the properties of natural surfactant. Both types have been shown to be effective, although there is ongoing research to determine the most efficacious formulations.
