Administration of Infasurf should be given as soon as possible after birth. Usually the immediate care and stabilization of the premature infant born with hypoxemia and or bradycardia should precede Infasurf prophylaxis. Dosing Precautions During administration of Infasurf liquid suspension into the airway, infants often experience bradycardia , reflux of Infasurf into the endotracheal tube, airway obstruction , cyanosis , dislodgement of the endotracheal tube, or hypoventilation. If any of these events occur, the administration should be interrupted and the infant's condition should be stabilized using appropriate interventions before the administration of Infasurf is resumed. Endotracheal suctioning or reintubation is sometimes needed when there are signs of airway obstruction during the administration of the surfactant.
