Session
Description: A post graduate course focusing on what is known about the surfactant system and some new ideas that illustrate there is much we do not know. The course will also include some of the recent advances in surfactant delivery and recommendations. Dr. Susan Guttentag (Vanderbilt) will start with a detailed overview: Surfactant Biology, Lamellar Body and Surfactant Protein B Fundamentals. Several speakers will discuss some new advances in basic surfactant biology examining novel pathways (Epithelial GPR116, Jim Bridges, (NJH Denver) & Natriuretic Peptide Pathway (Rita Ryan (Case Western Reserve Univ). Updates on Surfactant Protein C, and ABCA3 biology, representing two common abnormalities in lung disease, will be provided by Michael Beers (Penn) and Jennifer Wambach (Wash U), respectively. Dr. Larry Nogee (JHU) will present on what the latest practice is for Genetic testing for neonates with atypical RDS: A practical approach. Turning to some clinical data, Dr. Beena Sood (Wayne St Univ) will present her work on Phospholipid changes in clinical gastric aspirates. Short talks on the effects of maternal diabetes on the surfactant system (Hilal Yildiz Atar, Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital), Non-invasive Surfactant Delivery – Introducing LISA into your NICU (Allison Osborne (CCF) and SALSA: Surfactant Administration through Laryngeal or Supraglottic Airways (Kari Roberts, UMN) to improve clinical opportunities. Finally two senior physician-scientists will round out the program by discussing the recent national guidelines for the use of surfactant for RDS ((Vineet Bhandari, Cooper Univ) and Surfactant use in non-RDS patients (Satyan Laskshminrusimha).
