About this trial
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of Infasurf® administered through the InfasurfAero™, a novel oral airway delivery device specifically designed to give Infasurf in a less complicated way and without the need for a breathing tube or interrupting nasal respiratory support.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
CPAP failure and or death
CPAP failure is defined as a respiratory severity score (RSS) (MAP x FiO2) \>2.5 on two consecutive assessments at least 30 minutes apart, or an RSS \> 2.4 and one or more of the following: (i) Silverman-Andersen respiratory severity score (https://www.thecalculator.co/health/Silverman-Score-Calculator-1125.html) of ≥ 5 despite respiratory support. (ii) Severe apnea (2 or more episodes per hour, or 1 or more episodes requiring manual positive pressure ventilation). (iii) Respiratory acidosis (pCO2 \> 65 with a pH \< 7.2 on blood gas). RSS will be the primary indicator of CPAP failure. However with the addition of the Silverman-Anderson scores, severe apnea and respiratory acidosis, CPAP failure may occur earlier than solely defined by RSS score.
Secondary outcomes
Chronic lung disease and or death
Chronic lung disease is defined as altitude adjusted oxygen requirement at 36 weeks post menstrual age.
