Question 1
A 27-week preterm infant develops progressive respiratory distress within the first hour of life with grunting, retractions, and a ground-glass chest radiograph. Surfactant replacement works primarily by which mechanism?
Correct Answer:
Lowering alveolar surface tension to prevent end-expiratory collapse
