Abstract
A method of delivering aerosolized surfactant to an infant that includes interfacing an aerosolization device with an airway of an infant and aerosolizing, using the aerosolization device, a volume of surfactant into particles having a mass mean aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of less than about 3 μm at a rate of at least 0.1 ml/min. The surfactant is aerosolized within about 1 to 8 cm from a patient interface. Aerosol is generated for up to approximately 80% or each inspiration. The method also includes delivering the aerosolized surfactant to the infant's airway.
