NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jun 21 –
Bronchoalveolar lavage with a dilute surfactant solution is a safe and potentially effective treatment for meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), according to a report published in the June issue of Pediatrics.

Standard lavage fluids can wash this debris away; however, this therapy does not remedy another hallmark of the disorder–surfactant dysfunction.
