Stimulation of Surfactant Production by Oxytocin-Induced Labor in the Rabbit

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The respiratory distress syndrome is believed to be due to insufficient surfactant. It is known that there is a greater incidence of the respiratory distress syndrome among infants delivered by cesarean section before labor than among those delivered after labor at the same gestational age. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of labor on the production of pulmonary surfactant.
