The composition provides 25 mg/mL phospholipids, 0.5 to 1.75 mg/mL triglycerides, 1.4 to 3.5 mg/mL free fatty acids, and <1.0 mg/mL total surfactant proteins.[1] As an intratracheal suspension, it can be used for the prevention and treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.[2] Survanta is manufactured by Abbvie.
