Surfactant phosphatidylcholine half-life and pool size measurements in premature baboons developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

abstract：:Most preterm infants breathe at birth, but need additional respiratory support due to immaturity of the lung and respiratory control mechanisms. To avoid lung injury, the focus of respiratory support has shifted from invasive towards non-invasive ventilation. However, applying effective non-invasive ventilation is dif...
