The spread of SARS-CoV2 has been progressing continuously for over eight months. Numerous treatments have been proposed, and many have shown efficacy and ability to control the Covid-19 syndrome in this study we propose for the first time, the use of replacement therapy with Pulmonary Surfactant (PS), in patients admitted to intensive care. Pulmonary Surfactant is widely used to treat Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in preterm babies and has shown remarkable therapeutic efficacy. Since ARDS, also known as hyaline membrane disease, has many pathogenetic and symptomatological similarities with those produced by SARS-CoV2 infection, it may be useful to associate adjuvant therapy with Pulmonary Surfactant to current therapies in use. The Surfactant that we propose in our study can act as a carrier to convey even drugs with reduced absorption and poor bioavailability, directly in the most hidden alveolar areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
