A baby born prematurely is taken to the intensive care unit and dagnosed with respiratory distress syndroe. The buby is quickly intubated through the nose to the airways and is given surfactant. The purpose of surfactant is to O prevents alveolar collapse by decreasing surtace tension ORincreases mucus secretion to allow for laminar airflow into the airway O stimulates alveolar typel cells to increase gas exchange increases work of breathing by decreasing compliance

A baby born prematurely is taken to the intensive care unit and diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome. The baby is quickby intubated through the nose to the airways and is given surfactant. The purpose of surfactant is to O prevents alveolar collapse by decreasing surface tension OR increases mucus secretion to allow for laminar airflow into the airway. O It stimulates alveolar type I cells to increase gas exchange Ot increases work of breathing by decreasing compliance
