| Abstract: | A new method for analyzing the surface-active properties of pulmonary surfactants is proposed, based on calculating a “local
stability index” and then plotting this index as a function ofS/S
o, whereS
o andS are, respectively, the initial and contracted areas of the surfactant monolayer formed at the interface. The course of the
curves thus obtained allows for reasonably precise and easy comparisons of alterations in the surface-active properties of
pulmonary surfactants in response to different factors acting on the body.
