Surfactant for bacterial pneumonia in late preterm and term infants

The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews

Abstract

Pulmonary surfactant is an important part of the host defence against respiratory infections. Bacterial pneumonia in late preterm or term newborn infants often leads to surfactant deficiency or dysfunction, as surfactant is either inactivated or peroxidated. Studies of animal models of pneumonia and clinical case reports suggest that exogenous surfactant might be beneficial to infants with bacterial pneumonia. To assess the effect of exogenous surfactant treatment on mortality and pulmonary complications in infants with bacterial pneumonia. We used standard Cochrane Collaboration methodology to conduct our search of databases. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2011, Issue 6); MEDLINE (accessed via Ovid SP June 2011); EMBASE (via Ovid SP 1980 to June 2011); and CINAHL Plus (accessed via EBSCOHost June 2011). We limited our search to randomised and quasi-randomised trials of surfactant replacement therapy in infants > 35 weeks gestation with bacterial pneumonia in the first 28 days of life. The primary outcome measures were death, time to resolution of pneumonia, incidence of chronic lung disease, pneumothoraces and pulmonary haemorrhage. We assessed all studies with pr...Continue Reading
