Less Invasive Surfactant Administration (LISA)

Part of: GS Prelims and GS-II – Health

In News:

Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) is a recent medical technique which started at J.K. Lon Government Children’s Hospital in Jaipur.
This technique is used for treatment of lung disease or respiratory distress syndrome among premature babies.

Key takeaways:

It is developed as a lung protective strategy for respiratory management and ventilation.
It has been observed that mechanical ventilation causes damage to the preterm lungs of newborns.
Infants who are showing evidence of increasing respiratory distress and rising oxygen requirement are provided with LISA.
The procedure has yielded encouraging results when it was started initially for newborn children with the birth weight of less than 1,500 grams.
The regular application of LISA would help save the lives of premature babies.
