Summary
The objective of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and safety of performing a
larger trial to assess outcomes following treatment of meconium aspiration syndrome with
surfactant lavage compared to bolus surfactant. Specifically, we will determine if surfactant
lavage results in a more rapid improvement in physiologic outcomes (e.g. pulmonary
compliance), as well as clinical outcomes (e.g. length of time on mechanical ventilation).
