What is Poractant Alfa?

Куросърф (Poractant Alfa) is a natural surfactant used to treat respiratory distress syndrome in newborns. This medication helps improve lung function by reducing surface tension in the alveoli. Suitable for preterm infants requiring endotracheopulmonary support.

What is Poractant Alfa used for?

Poractant Alfa is primarily used to manage respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. It works by replacing deficient natural surfactant in the lungs, aiding breathing and reducing complications. This medication is administered directly to the lungs via endotracheopulmonary route.

What are the side effects of Poractant Alfa?

Poractant Alfa helps restore lung compliance by lowering surface tension in the alveoli, making it easier for infants to breathe. It may temporarily improve oxygenation and reduce the need for mechanical ventilation. Effects are typically observed shortly after administration.

What precautions apply to Poractant Alfa?

Poractant Alfa should only be administered by trained healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. Monitor infants closely for signs of adverse reactions, such as bradycardia or oxygen desaturation, during and after administration. Ensure proper storage and handling to maintain sterility.
