Abstract: OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the accuracy of neonatal lung ultrasound (LUS) in predicting the need for surfactant therapy compared with chest X-ray (CXR) in preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN A prospective double-blind study was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/archdischild-2018-315015
Abstract: Background and aims Although sedation for endotracheal intubation of infants is widely adopted, there is no consensus whether sedation should be used for minimal invasive surfactant therapy (MIST). We compared, in a randomised controlled setting,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000480066
Abstract: Background: Most preterm infants born at 29-32 weeks gestation now avoid intubation in early life, and thus lack the usual conduit through which exogenous surfactant is given if needed. Objective: The aim of this work… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000506987
Abstract: In resource-restricted regions, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) data are often underreported, making the determination of effective interventions and their outcome difficult. The combination of oxygen, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and surfactant therapy has… read more here.
