We aimed to discuss term infants who are given surfactant due to respiratory disorder according to the underlying etiology, the dose of surfactant administration, and the need for repeated surfactant administration. ⋯ Despite the difference on administration time and repeat dose interval due to etiology, surfactant treatment is improving the respiratory distress of term infants.

Adaptive Support Ventilation and Lung-Protective Ventilation in ARDS.
Adaptive support ventilation (ASV) is a partially closed-loop ventilation mode that adjusts tidal volume (VT) and breathing frequency (f) to minimize mechanical work and driving pressure. ASV is routinely used but has not been widely studied in ARDS. ⋯ ASV targeted similar settings as standard of care consistent with lung-protective ventilation strategies in mostly passive subjects with ARDS. ASV delivered VT based upon respiratory mechanics, with lower VT and mechanical power in subjects with stiffer lungs.
