Evaluation of Serial Lung Ultrasound Data After Surfactant Treatments Applied With Different Methods in Preterm Babies

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Evaluation of serial lung ultrasound data after ENSURE surfactant treatments: 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: 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)

Study summary

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

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Evaluation of serial lung ultrasound data after surfactant treatments — 6 hours after completion of surfactant administration
