Directions for use
Before using the drug Survant®, the bottle should be inspected to avoid discoloration.
If sedimentation occurs during storage, rotate the bottle gently to dissolve it (DO NOT INSERT!). A small amount of foam can form on the surface, this is a natural property of the Survant® preparation.
Before the introduction of the preparation, Survant® should be warmed at room temperature for at least 20 minutes or in hands for at least 8 minutes. FOR THE HYGIENE OF SURVANTA® PREPARATION, DO NOT USE OTHER METHODS.
A closed, unused bottle of Survant® preparation that was warmed to room temperature can be re-placed in the refrigerator for 24 hours, cooled and stored for later use. The preparation of Survant® should not be heated and re-cooled more than once. Each vial of the preparation SURVANTA® is intended for single use. The used vial with drug residues should no longer be used. SURVANTA® PREPARATION DOES NOT NEED DILUTION OR ULTRASOUND PROCESSING BEFORE USING.
Administration of the drug
general information
The Survant® preparation is administered endotracheally by instillation through a French probe No. 5 with an opening at the end in one of the following ways:
- insertion of the probe into the child's endotracheal tube, detaching it for a short time from the ventilator;
- insertion of the probe through the suction valve without disconnecting the endotracheal tube from the ventilator;
- instillation through the second lumen of a double-lumen endotracheal tube.
If the drug is inserted through a probe with an opening at the end, the length of the probe should be reduced so that the end of the probe is a short distance from the endotracheal tube above the bifurcation of the child's trachea. Introduction of the drug into the main bronchi is unacceptable.
In order that the drug SURVANTA® is distributed evenly over the lungs, each dose is divided into equal fractional doses. Each dose can be divided into 2 or 4 equal parts. Each fractional dose is administered at different positions of the child.
When dividing the dose of Survant® into 2 equal parts it is recommended to enter it in the following positions
- The head and body are rotated about 45 ° to the right.
- The head and body are rotated about 45 ° to the left. When dividing the dose of Survant® in 4 parts, it is recommended to enter it in the following positions
1. The head and trunk are inclined 5-10 ° down, the head is turned to the right.
2. The head and trunk are inclined 5-10 ° downward, the head is turned to the left.
3. The head and trunk are bent 5-10 ° upwards, the head is turned to the right.
4. The head and trunk are raised 5-10 ° upward, the head is turned to the left.
The procedure of administration is facilitated if one medical worker enters the dose of the drug and the other changes the position of the child's body and monitors his condition.
The first dose
Instillation through a probe with an opening at the end
- Based on the weight of the child and using the table of doses, determine the total dose of the drug Survant®;
- slowly put in the plastic syringe all the contents of the bottle, using a large needle (at least number 20). PREPARATION OF SURVANTA® DOES NOT REQUIRE FILTERING. DO NOT PREVENT THE PREPARATION;
- attach a pre-measured French probe No. 5 with an opening at the end to the syringe;
- fill the probe with the drug;
- Through the probe, remove excess drug from the syringe so that only the total dose of the drug remains in it;
- Before the introduction of the Survant® preparation, make sure that the endotracheal tube is properly positioned and patchy.At the physician's discretion, the content of the endotracheal tube can be drawn before the administration of the drug. The condition of the child should be stabilized before the administration of the drug.
In the case of using the drug Survant® for prevention of RDS The child must be weighed, intubated and stabilized. The drug should be administered as soon as possible, preferably within 15 minutes of birth. Lay the baby properly, then gently insert the first part of the dose through the probe for 2-3 seconds.
After the introduction of the first fractional dose, remove the probe from the endotracheal tube. To prevent cyanosis, perform manual ventilation using a hand bag with sufficient oxygen at a rate of 60 breaths per minute and sufficient positive pressure to ensure adequate gas exchange and chest movement.
When using the drug Survant® for treatment of RDS The first dose should be administered as soon as possible after the child is connected to the ventilator. Lay the baby properly, then gently enter the first fractional dose through the probe for 2-3 seconds. After the introduction of the first fractional dose, remove the probe from the endotracheal tube.Resume artificial ventilation. In both cases, ventilatory ventilation should be continued for at least 30 seconds or until the condition stabilizes. Then change the position of the child for the next fractional dose.
Similarly install the remaining fractional doses. After the administration of each fractional dose, remove the probe and perform mechanical ventilation for at least 30 seconds or until the child's condition is stabilized. After instillation of the last fractional dose, remove the probe without rinsing it. Within an hour after the administration of the drug, do not suction the contents of the airway, except in cases of signs of significant obstruction of the airways.
AFTER THE END OF THE INTRODUCTION OF SURVANTA®, CONTINUE ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION OF LUNGS IN CONVENTIONAL REGIME AND CONDUCT CONVENIENT NECESSARY TREATMENT MANIPULATIONS.
Instillation through the second lumen of a double-lumen endotracheal tube
- Ensure that the child is intubated using a two-lumen endotracheal tube of suitable size;
- based on the weight of the child and using the table of doses, determine the total dose of the drug Survant®;
- slowly put a total dose of the drug into the plastic syringe, using a large needle (at least No. 20). SURVANTA® PREPARATION DOES NOT REQUIRE FILMING. DO NOT PREVENT THE PREPARATION;
- Before the introduction of the Survant® drug, make sure that the endotracheal tube is installed correctly. At the physician's discretion, the content of the endotracheal tube can be drawn before the administration of the drug. The condition of the child should be stabilized before the administration of the drug.
In the case of using the drug Survant® for prevention of RDS development The child must be weighed, intubated and stabilized. The drug should be administered as soon as possible, preferably within 15 minutes of birth.
Attach the syringe containing the Survant® preparation to the second tube clearance.
Lay the baby properly, then gently enter the first fractional dose through the second lumen of the endotracheal tube for 2-3 seconds, without interrupting the artificial ventilation of the lungs. When manually ventilating the lungs to prevent cyanosis, perform artificial ventilation using a hand bag,with sufficient oxygen content at a rate of 60 breaths per minute and sufficient positive pressure to ensure adequate gas exchange and chest movement.
When using the drug Survant® for treatment of RDS The first dose should be administered as soon as possible after the child is connected to the ventilator. Immediately before the instillation of the first fractional dose, the parameters of the artificial ventilation mode should be changed: speed up to 60 / min, inspiration time 0.5 seconds, FiABOUT2 - 1.0. Lay the baby properly, then gently enter the first fractional dose through the probe for 2-3 seconds through the second lumen of the endotracheal tube, without interrupting the artificial ventilation of the lungs.
In both cases, ventilatory ventilation should be continued for at least 30 seconds or until the condition stabilizes. Then change the position of the child for the next fractional dose.
Similarly, instill the remaining fractional doses. After the administration of each fractional dose, remove the probe and perform mechanical ventilation for at least 30 seconds or until the child's condition stabilizes. After instillation of the last dose, disconnect the syringe from the second lumen of the endotracheal tube.ENTER 0.5 ML AIR TO SOLD THE SECOND LINK OF THE ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE, AND CLOSE IT.
AFTER THE END OF THE INTRODUCTION OF SURVANTA®, CONTINUE ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION OF LUNGS IN CONVENTIONAL REGIME AND CONDUCT CONVENIENT NECESSARY TREATMENT MANIPULATIONS.
Repeated doses
The need to assign repeated doses of the attacker is determined by the presence of signs of a persistent RDS. The dose is also calculated using Table 1.
Repeated administration of the drug should be carried out no earlier than 6 hours after the introduction of the previous dose in the event that the child is still intubated and requires the inhalation of a gas mixture containing at least 30% oxygen to maintain PA2 below or equal to 80 mm Hg.
Before prescribing repeated doses for prophylaxis, radiographic confirmation of the presence of RDS should be obtained.
Prepare the attack and place the child properly to administer each fractional dose, as described previously. After the administration of each fractional dose, remove the probe from the endotracheal tube and perform mechanical ventilation for at least 30 seconds or until the child's condition stabilizes.
When introducing repeated doses, do not use lung ventilation with a hand bag. DURING THE INTRODUCTION OF SURVANT ® PREPARATION, THE MODES OF ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION OF THE LUNGS MAY BE MODIFIED BY THE DOCTOR'S ATTENTION TO SUPPORT ADEQUATE OXYGENATION AND VENTILATION.
AFTER THE END OF THE INTRODUCTION OF SURVANTA®, CONTINUE ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION OF LUNGS IN CONVENTIONAL REGIME AND CONDUCT CONVENIENT NECESSARY TREATMENT MANIPULATIONS.
Precautionary measures
If during the introduction of the drug in the child develops a bradycardia or a decrease in oxygen saturation, the procedure should be discontinued and take appropriate measures to improve the condition of the child. After stabilization of the child's condition, resume the procedure.
After the introduction of the attack in the lungs, transient, wet rales can be heard. Absorption of endotracheal contents or any other therapeutic manipulation is not required, except in cases of obvious signs of airway obstruction.
