-
Impact of Lung Pressure Levels During MIST on Preterm Babies’ Lung Aeration
This study tests whether applying a lung recruitment maneuver before minimally invasive surfactant therapy helps preterm infants breathe more easily.
-
Video-guided vs direct laryngoscopy for less invasive surfactant delivery in extremely preterm infants
This trial tests whether using video laryngoscopy helps give surfactant on the first try more often than direct laryngoscopy in extremely preterm babies needing surfactant.
-
Duration of surfactant administration: 1 minute vs 5 minutes in very preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving surfactant over 1 minute or 5 minutes during the LISA procedure helps stabilize cerebral and overall oxygen levels in extremely preterm infants.
-
Evaluating a new surfactant treatment for respiratory distress in preterm infants in Africa
This study is testing a new way to give surfactant treatment to preterm infants with breathing problems in Africa to see if it helps them do better than the usual care.
-
Less invasive surfactant administration during high-flow oxygen in late preterm and early term infants
This study tests whether giving surfactant with a less invasive method during high-flow oxygen reduces the need for invasive ventilation in babies born 34 to 38 weeks who have breathing problems after birth.
-
Comparing two methods for surfactant administration in preterm infants
This study is testing a new way to give surfactant to preterm infants with breathing problems to see if it helps them breathe better and feel less pain compared to the usual method.
