“However, the combination of NAC and surfactant facilitated rapid onset of therapeutic effect in respiratory parameters (oxygenation index, PaO(2)/FiO(2)) compared to surfactant alone and was the only treatment which prevented neutrophil migration into the lungs, oxidative damage and lung edema.”
“Moreover, NAC suppressed IL-8 and IL-beta formation and thus seems to be favorable agent for improving surfactant therapy in MAS.”
