| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Does a single dose of exogenous surfactant (100mg/kg CUROSURF® (poractant alfa) administered via the endotracheal tube substantially alter surfactant metabolism in children with AHRF;Secondary Objective: a) Can choline chloride (trimethyl-D9) be use effectively to study surfactant metabolism in children with AHRF? b) Is diminished production a major cause of AHRF in children? c) Is there significant hydrolysis and oxidative damage of surfactant phospholipid in children with AHRF? ;Primary end point(s): The primary end point is the measurement of the rate of synthesis of surfactant in healthy lungs compared with the rate in lungs of children with acute hypoxic respiratory failure before and after the installation of curosurf. | — |
