Transient airway obstruction (hypoxemia and hypotension)
Risks of pulmonary barotrauma and haemorrhage from rapidly increased compliance
Changes in cerebral perfusion from rapid redistribution of pulmonary blood flow into cerebral circulation
Adverse effects of surfactant
Notes:
Transient airway obstruction (provoking transient hypoxemia and hypotension) has been demonstrated in premature babies and in newborns due to small airways and reduced diameter of endotracheal tube.
