Filter by:Covid-19 disease is one of the most important health system challenges which is the result of the recent SARS CoV-2 virus outbreak. So far, despite the use of different types of pharmaceuticals, none has been served as a curative treatment and research is continued to find one or more effective drugs; either palliative or curative ones. One of the most important clinical problems in Covid-19 patients is lung involvement, which may causes significant sequels; leading to a main part of morbidity and/or mortality. Surfactant is one of the drugs that can have valuable effects on the lungs, both by reducing the alveolar surface tension and by exerting immunomodulatory effects. In a previous study by the same team, favorable effects were seen in intubated patients; however, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exogenous nebulized surfactant in the pre-intubation stages of the disease.
