Alveolar surfactant is well known for its ability to reduce minimal surface tension at the alveolar air–liquid interface to values below 5 mN m−1. In addition, it has been suggested that surfactant is also present in the airways, particularly in the perinatal period. We isolated surfactant from pharyngeal aspirates obtained from 33 neonates immediately after delivery and analysed it for both phospholipid (PL) composition and surface tension function. PL classes and phosphatidylcholine (PC… Expand
