Table 1.

Arterial oxygenation (PaO2), dynamic lung compliance and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) protein data at 120 min post-surfactant treatment in all rabbits, subdivided into those treated with surface-inactive and active surfactants. Active surfactants were subdivided by surfactant composition.
