Abstract
Many drugs are given to intubated neonates by the
inhalation route. The optimum aerosol delivery system,
however, has not been identified and there are many
challenges in delivering drugs effectively to the lower
airways of intubated neonates. The effectiveness of
surfactant in prematurely born infants and nitric oxide
has been robustly investigated. Other drugs are being
used on very limited evidence.
