About this trial

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the method of surfactant administration and improvements in serial lung ultrasound findings in preterm infants requiring surfactant therapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Infants of families who agree to participate in the study

Preterm infants born before 32 weeks of gestation requiring surfactant therapy due to an RDS diagnosis.

Disqualifiers

Infants whose families did not provide consent

Infants with a syndromic appearance or congenital heart disease

Preterm infants born after 32 weeks of gestation

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Evaluation of serial lung ultrasound data after ENSURE surfactant treatments

    Diagnostic test

    Intubating the infant, administering intratracheal surfactant, and then extubating them back to nasal respiratory support (ENSURE method)

  • Evaluation of serial lung ultrasound data after LISA surfactant treatments

    Diagnostic test

    Delivering surfactant via a thin catheter (5F) directly into the trachea while the infant remains on existing nasal respiratory support, without disconnecting them from it (LISA method)

Treatment groups

68 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Ensure groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Lisa groupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
