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

1

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.

Time frame
