Background Non‐invasive respiratory support is increasingly used for the management of
respiratory dysfunction in preterm infants. This approach runs the risk of under‐treating …

The harmful effects of mechanical ventilation (MV) on the preterm lung are well established.
Avoiding MV at birth and stabilization on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) …

Preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) are commonly treated with
surfactant by intubate surfactant extubate (InSurE) technique. Mode of surfactant …

Objective Surfactant administration via a thin catheter (STC) is an alternative to surfactant
administration post endotracheal intubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress …

Background Sedation to preterm neonates receiving less invasive surfactant administration
(LISA) for respiratory distress syndrome is controversial. Methods Systematic review and …

Purpose To compare five pulmonary surfactant (PS) administration strategies for neonates
with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), including intubation-surfactant-extubation …

Less invasive surfactant administration techniques, together with nasal continuous airway
pressure (LISA-nCPAP) ventilation, an emerging noninvasive ventilation (NIV) technique in …

Background Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common cause of hospitalization and
death in preterm infants who require surfactant treatment and respiratory support. Purpose …

Objectives To compare LISA with INSURE technique for surfactant administration in preterm
with gestational age (GA)< 36 weeks with RDS in respect to the incidence of pneumothorax …

Objective The efficacy and safety of surfactant administration via thin catheter in preterm
infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) was investigated. Methods …
