Study Details

Many preterm babies born between 22-28+6 weeks' estimated gestational age (EGA) need surfactant, a medicine that helps the lungs. The goal of the study is to compare the use of video-based visualization to direct visualization during a procedure called less invasive surfactant administration (LISA). The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1) does one method of visualization have a increased rate of giving the medicine successfully on the first attempt? 2) what benefits are there of each method?

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Video Laryngoscopy
    A video laryngoscopy will be used to visualize the vocal cords and place the LISA catheter for surfactant administration
  • Active Comparator: Direct Laryngoscopy
    Direct laryngoscopy (no camera) will be used to visualize the vocal cords and place the LISA catheter for surfactant administration
