Medical 3D Animation | Surfactant Delivery for Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS)

Overview: This medical 3D animation illustrates Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome (NRDS), a condition caused by insufficient pulmonary surfactant in premature infants. Without enough surfactant, the alveoli collapse during exhalation, making breathing difficult and reducing efficient gas exchange.

The animation demonstrates the role of surfactant in stabilizing the alveoli and introduces a nebulizer-based aerosol delivery approach designed to distribute surfactant throughout the lungs. Compared with conventional intratracheal surfactant administration, this method aims to provide a less invasive treatment option for newborns while supporting effective lung recruitment.
