Abstract
PURPOSE Concerns remain on different alveolar deposition of surfactant between LISA and INSURE methods. Ultrasound evaluation of diaphragm kinetics may provide clinical evidence on this issue, as indirect representation of the respiratory system compliance. METHODS This was a prospective-observational pilot study. The inclusion criterion was CPAP-supported infants ≤ 32 weeks with RDS receiving surfactant via minimally invasive technique. 52 patients randomized for surfactant administration via LISA or INSURE methods were enrolled. Right diaphragm (RD) global mean peak velocity (MPV) by Pulsed-Wave Tissue Doppler Imaging (PTDI) was recorded before and two hours after surfactant administration with simultaneous measurements of oxygen saturation (SpO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (SF ratio). Mechanical ventilation ≤ 72 h from birth represented treatment failure. RESULTS LISA infants had significantly higher gestational age (p = 0.029) and birth weight (p = 0.030) with lower CRIB-II scores (p = 0.030) than INSURE infants. LISA infants showed higher median MPV at baseline RD-PTDI US assessment (p = 0.024), but post-surfactant median MPV and other the investigated variables were similar at the adjusted analysis for gestational age and sedation. 8/52 (15%) infants who failed treatment had a significantly lower SF ratio (p = 0.002) and higher median MPV at RD-PTDI US (p = 0.004) after surfactant administration, despite the higher CPAP support level before (p = 0.007) and after (p = 0.001) surfactant administration. A full course of antenatal steroids was protective against mechanical ventilation (p = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS Different minimally invasive surfactant administration techniques do not appear to influence diaphragm kinetics evaluated by RD-PTDI US.

Abstract
Background Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Early nasal CPAP and selective administration of surfactant via the endotracheal tube are widely used in the treatment of RDS in preterm infants. Objective The aim of this study was to compare the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation after surfactant delivery between LISA-treated and INSURE-treated premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Methods Retrospective registry-based cohort study enrolled 36 newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the "Santa Maria" Hospital of Terni between 2016 and 2023. As a primary outcome, we followed the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation within 72 hours of life, while the secondary outcomes were major neonatal morbidities and death before discharge. Results The LISA group and the INSURE group included 13 and 23 newborns respectively. Demographic features showed no significant differences between the two groups. The need for mechanical ventilation in the first 72 hours of life was similar in both groups (p >0.99). There were no significant differences in morbidities. Conclusion LISA and INSURE are equally effective modalities for surfactant administration for the treatment of RDS in preterm infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare LISA with INSURE technique for surfactant administration in preterm with gestational age (GA) < 36 weeks with RDS in respect to the incidence of pneumothorax, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), need for mechanical ventilation (MV), regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), peri‑intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) and mortality. METHODS A systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, CINAHL, SciELO databases, Brazilian Registry of Randomized Clinical Trials (ReBEC), Clinicaltrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) was performed. RCTs evaluating the effects of the LISA technique versus INSURE in preterm infants with gestational age < 36 weeks and that had as outcomes evaluation of the rates of pneumothorax, BPD, need for MV, rSO2, PIVH, and mortality were included in the meta-analysis. Random effects and hazard ratio models were used to combine all study results. Inter-study heterogeneity was assessed using Cochrane Q statistics and Higgin's I2 statistics. RESULTS Sixteen RCTs published between 2012 and 2020 met the inclusion criteria, a total of 1,944 preterms. Eleven studies showed a shorter duration of MV and CPAP in the LISA group than in INSURE group. Two studies evaluated rSO2 and suggested that LISA and INSURE transiently affect brain autoregulation during surfactant administration. INSURE group had a higher risk for MV in the first 72 h of life, pneumothorax, PIVH and mortality in comparison to the LISA group. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analyses provided evidence for the benefits of the LISA technique in the treatment of RDS, decreasing CPAP time, need for MV, BPD, pneumothorax, PIVH, and mortality when compared to INSURE.

Abstract
The less invasive surfactant application (LISA) technology has been widely used to manage breathing in premature infants. Premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 2 groups according to the drug delivery methods used: LISA versus traditional pulmonary surfactant injection (INSURE). The decrease of transcutaneous saturation (TcSO2) and heart rate during surfactant delivery in the LISA group was higher than that in the INSURE group (P < .05). Between the 2 groups, there was no significant difference in the change in partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen value before and after drug delivery; second-use pulmonary surfactant; noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure rate; incidence of some complications; duration of NIV use; hospitalization time; and mortality (P > .05). However, the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in the LISA group was lower than that in the INSURE group (P < .05). The clinical efficacy of LISA combined with the NIV treatment in premature infants with RDS was clear, and this treatment could reduce the incidence of BPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poractant administration with thin catheter is gradually gaining popularity compared to the INSURE technique. However, there is little evidence to use thin catheters for administration of beractant. With this background, we compared the effect of beractant administration with INSURE vs thin catheter in preterm infants less than 34 weeks with RDS on death/chronic lung disease (CLD). METHODS This prospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary NICU where inborn preterm infants≤34 weeks with RDS receiving beractant by INSURE or thin catheter were studied over two epochs- Epoch1- INSURE (Jan 2020-Oct 2020) & Epoch 2- Surfactant through thin catheter (Nov 2020-July 2021).The primary outcome was occurrence of death/CLD. Procedure related complications like transient bradycardia/desaturation, pneumothorax, failure of procedure, rates of other outcomes like failure of CPAP within 72hr, duration of invasive mechanical ventilation/ CPAP support, oxygen supplementation, other major neonatal morbidities & mortality were evaluated as secondary outcomes. RESULTS The combined outcome of death/CLD was significantly lower in the thin catheter epoch (RR 0.56 95% CI 0.34-0.90, p = 0.012). When analyzed independently for death/CLD, we found significantly lower number of deaths in the thin catheter epoch (RR 0.44 95% CI 0.23-0.83, p = 0.008). Number of infants who failed CPAP within 72 hrs of life was lower in thin catheter epoch (RR 0.59 95% CI 0.41-0.85, p = 0.003). Transient bradycardia/desaturation was higher during thin catheter technique (RR 4.17 95% CI 2.22-7.69, p < 0.001). Incidence of severe IVH was lower with thin catheter technique (RR 0.13 95% CI 0.02-0.98, p = 0.034). CONCLUSION Beractant administration by thin catheter reduces combined outcome of death/CLD.

Abstract
Objective To measure the efficacy and safety of surfactant administered by MIST and INSURE to neonates with respiratory distress syndrome. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted from June 2021 to August 2022 at the NICU of the University of Child Health Sciences, Lahore. Neonates meeting inclusion criteria i.e with RDS who worsened on nasal Continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) (fiO2 30%, pressure 6cmH2O) were enrolled in the study in both interventional arms (MIST, n=36 and INSURE, n=36) using simple random sampling. Data was analysed using SPSS 25. Results The mean age of neonates in MIST was 1.27±0.40 days and 1.23±0.48 days in INSURE cohort. Neonates with MIST (n=8) required statistically significant reduced need for IMV than INSURE (n=17) technique (P-Value 0.047). This study could not achieve significant difference in duration of mechanical ventilation (1±1.67; 1.52±1.40 days, P=0.152) and duration of nCPAP (3.27±1.65;3.67±1.64 hrs, P=0.312) in MIST versus INSURE. The second dose of surfactant was administered in fewer cases in MIST (n=2) than INSURE (n=7) (P=0.075). Risk estimation, although not significant, determined less likelihood for the pulmonary haemorrhage (0.908 than 1.095), intraventricular hemorrhage (0.657 than 1.353), administration of the second dose of surfactant (0.412 than 1.690) and greater likelihood of discharge (1.082 than 0.270) at 95% confidence interval with MIST technique. Conclusion Surfactant therapy through MIST is effective and there is significantly reduced need of IMV than in INSURE. Safety profile though could not achieve statistical significance yet determines less risk of complications associated with MIST than INSURE.RCT Registration Number: TCTR20210627001.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is currently considered that early initiation of nasal continuous positive airway pressure, using a less invasive exogenous surfactant administration and avoiding mechanical ventilation as much as possible to minimize lung damage, may reduce mortality and/or the risk of morbidities in preterm infants. The aim of our study was to quantify our experience and compare different strategies of surfactant administration, to investigate which method is associated with less morbidity. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 135 preterm infants with early rescue surfactant administration for respiratory distress syndrome were included in the study. The infants were treated in an academic, Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit over a 3-year period between 1 December 2018 and 1 December 2021. Patients were separated into three groups: those with standard surfactant administration; those with Less Invasive Surfactant Administration-LISA; and those with Intubation Surfactant Administration Extubation-INSURE. As a primary outcome, we followed the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation within 72 h, while the secondary outcomes were major neonatal morbidities and death before discharge. RESULTS The surfactant administration method was significantly associated with the need for mechanical ventilation within 72 h after the procedure (p < 0.001). LISA group infants needed less MV (OR = 0.538, p = 0.019) than INSURE group infants. We found less morbidities (OR = 0.492, p = 0.015) and deaths before discharge (OR = 0.640, p = 0.035) in the LISA group compared with the INSURE group. The analysis of morbidities found in infants who were given the surfactant by the LISA method compared with the INSURE method showed lower incidence of pneumothorax (3.9% vs. 8.8%), intraventricular hemorrhage (17.3% vs. 23.5%), intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3 and 4 (3.9% vs. 5.9%), sepsis/probable sepsis (11.5% vs. 17.7%) retinopathy of prematurity (16.7% vs. 26.7%) and deaths (3.9% vs. 5.9%). There were no significant differences between groups in frequencies of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis and patent ductus arteriosus. CONCLUSIONS Less invasive surfactant administration methods seem to have advantages regarding early need for mechanical ventilation, decreasing morbidities and death rate. In our opinion, the LISA procedure may be a good choice in spontaneously breathing infants regardless of gestational age.

Abstract
In preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is usually provided using nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) or non-invasive mechanical ventilation after surfactant administration by INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation (INSURE) method. Heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) is a mode of NIV with advantages of ease of application, less grades of nasal injury and easy handling. This study was done to compare the effectiveness of HHHFNC therapy administration as post-INSURE respiratory support in preterm infants as compared to NCPAP. The primary outcome was to compare the rate of treatment failure within 7 days of randomization to HHHFNC or NCPAP as a post-INSURE ventilatory modality. It was a pilot trial wherein all preterm infants more than 1 kg and more than 28 weeks gestational age with RDS who required surfactant were randomized to receive NCPAP or HHHFNC. Infants with an urgent need for intubation and mechanical ventilation were considered to have treatment failure. Thirty babies were enrolled-15 in each group. Baseline demographic characteristics were comparable. There was no significant difference in the primary outcome of early failure rate, i.e. mechanical ventilation rate within 7 days of starting treatment. There were no significant differences in other outcomes except nasal injury which was significantly lesser in the HHHFNC group. In conclusion, HHHFNC appears to be non-inferior to NCPAP when used in preterm infants more than 28 weeks gestation with RDS as a post-INSURE ventilatory modality.

Abstract
Over the last 10 years, new techniques to administer surfactant have been promoted, based on their presumed lesser invasiveness and they have been generally called LISA (less invasive surfactant administration). We believe that the clinical potential of LISA techniques is currently overestimated. LISA lacks biological and pathophysiological background justifying its potential benefits. Moreover, LISA has been investigated in clinical trials without previous translational data and these trials are affected by significant flaws. The available data from these trials only allow to conclude that LISA is better than prolonged, unrestricted invasive ventilation with loosely described parameters, a mode of respiratory support that should be anyway avoided in preterm infants. We urge the conduction of high-quality studies to understand how to choose and titrate analgesia/sedation and optimize surfactant administration in preterm neonates. We offer a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the clinical data on LISA, their biases and the lack of physiopathology background.

Abstract
Variability in neonatal clinical practice is well recognized. Respiratory management involves interdisciplinary care and often is protocol driven. The most recent published guidelines for management of respiratory distress syndrome and surfactant administration were published in 2014 and may not reflect current clinical practice in the United States. The goal of this project was to better understand variability in surfactant administration through conduct of health care provider (HCP) interviews. Questions focused on known practice variations included: use of premedication, decisions to treat, technique of surfactant administration and use of guidelines. Data were analyzed for trends and results were communicated with participants. A total of 54 HCPs participated from June to September 2020. In almost all settings, neonatologists or nurse practitioners intubated the infant and respiratory therapists administered surfactant. The INSURE (INtubation-SURrfactant-Extubation) technique was practiced by 83% of participants. Premedication prior to intubation was used by 76% of HCPs. An FiO2 ≥ 30% was the most common threshold for surfactant administration (48%). In conclusion, clinical practice variations exist in respiratory management and surfactant administration and do not seem to be specific to NICU level or institution type. It is unknown what effects the variability in clinical practice might have on clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND This study investigates trends in methods of surfactant administration and early respiratory management in neonatal intensive care units [NICU] in New South Wales [NSW] and the Australian Capital Territory [ACT] in 2015 and evaluate whether differences in practice translate to variances in short term outcomes. METHODS Surveys were sent to NICUs in NSW and ACT to ascertain their practice of surfactant administration and respiratory management. A retrospective data analysis with data from the NICUS database from 01/01/2013-30/06/2015 was performed. Included were all patients that received Surfactant, were inborn, without major malformation, ≥24 weeks gestational age [GA] and birthweight ≥500 g. Major respiratory outcome measures were time ventilated, air leak, oxygen requirement at 36 weeks corrected gestational age [cGA], home oxygen therapy after discharge and retinopathy of prematurity [ROP]. Along with this data demographic and morbidity data was also obtained for comparison [mortality, necrotizing enterocolitis [NEC], persistent ductus arteriosus [PDA], intraventricular hemorrhage [IVH]. RESULTS 1453 patients met inclusion criteria. Patient data comparing major respiratory outcomes showed patients receiving less invasive Surfactant therapy and respiratory management spent longer time on CPAP [559 vs. 407 hrs, p = 0.01] and in the older gestation subgroups less time on mechanical ventilation [18 vs. 50 hrs p = <0.001] and were discharged earlier [48 vs. 54 days, p = 0.03]. There was however, higher rates of oxygen requirement at 36 weeks cGA [33 vs. 26.3% p = 0.01] and a higher proportion of home oxygen in this patient group [11.3 vs. 7.1% p = 0.03]. Major morbidity outcome data showed no significant differences. CONCLUSIONS Less invasive Surfactant therapy and gentle early respiratory management should be considered as a viable alternative to established methods of surfactant administration and ventilation.

Abstract
Introduction Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is defined as acute respiratory distress caused by surfactant deficiency that disturbs gas exchange in preterm infants. It is one of the most common neonatal problems and has been considered to be the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in preterm babies. Aim In this study, different variables were studied to predict factors for INSURE failure that might help in choosing infants for this procedure early. Methods Sixty three (63) patients were enrolled in this study as they met the inclusion criteria. All neonates were intubated briefly less than 2 hours, given natural surfactant in the dose of 3 ml/kg. As soon as it was appropriate and the neonate was stable in the form of normal heart rate and oxygenation, extubation was done and the baby connected to NCPAP at a pressure of 6 cmH2O. INSURE failure was considered if the patient needed mechanical ventilation for more than 72 hours while INSURE success was considered if we were able to wean the patient from CPAP or if the patient didn't need mechanical ventilation in the first 72 hours after surfactant administration. The indications for mechanical ventilation after INSURE procedure were respiratory distress with desaturation (02 sat less than 90%), recurrent apnea, Pco2 more than 60 mmHg. Results Since INSURE procedure is being largely applied in the neonatal intensive care units, it is important to determine the candidate neonate for this procedure with the minimum failure rate. Although the sample of our study is small, but we can suggest that neonate with gestational age less than 28, birth weight less than 1000 gm, umbilical PH of less than 7, low Apgar score and anemic patients are at high risk for INSURE failure. Conclusion Early diagnosis of PDA and IVH is essential to avoid INSURE method in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal continuous-positive airway pressure (nCPAP) with the INSURE (INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation) or LISA (Less-Invasive Surfactant Administration) procedures are increasingly being chosen as the initial treatment for neonates with surfactant deficiency. Our objective was to compare the effects on cerebral oxygenation of different methods for surfactant administration: INSURE and LISA, using a nasogastric tube (NT) or a LISAcath® catheter, in spontaneously breathing SF-deficient newborn piglets. METHODS Eighteen newborn piglets with SF-deficient lung injury produced by repetitive bronchoalveolar lavages were randomly assigned to INSURE, LISA-NT, or LISAcath® groups. We assessed pulmonary (gas exchange, lung mechanics, lung histology) and hemodynamic (mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate) changes, cerebral oxygenation (cTOI) and cerebral fractional tissue extraction (cFTOE), with near-infrared spectroscopy, carotid blood flow and brain histology. RESULTS SF-deficient piglets developed respiratory distress (FiO2 = 1, pH <7.2, PaCO2 >70 mmHg, PaO2 <70 mmHg, Cdyn <0.5 mL/cmH2 O/kg). Rapid improvements in pulmonary status were observed in all surfactant-treated groups without hemodynamic alterations. In the INSURE group, a transient decrease in cTOI occurred during and immediately after surfactant administration, while cTOI only decreased during surfactant administration in the LISA-NT group and did not change significantly in the LISAcath® group. Brain injury scores were low in all surfactant-treated groups. CONCLUSION In spontaneously breathing SF-deficient newborn piglets, short-lasting decreases in cerebral oxygenation are associated with surfactant administration by the INSURE method or LISA using an NT, while no cerebral oxygenation changes occurred with LISA using a LISAcath®. Notably, none of treatments studied seems to have a negative impact on the neonatal brain.

Abstract
Routine use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to support preterm infants with respiratory distress is an evidenced-based strategy to decrease incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, rates of CPAP failure remain unacceptably high in very premature neonates, who are at high risk for developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Using the GRADE framework to assess the quality of available evidence, this article reviews strategies aimed at decreasing CPAP failure, starting with delivery room interventions and followed through to system-based efforts in the neonatal intensive care unit. Despite best efforts, some very premature neonates fail CPAP. Also reviewed are predictors of CPAP failure in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
Background: We previously reported a 67% extubation failure with INSURE (Intubation, Surfactant, Extubation) using morphine as analgosedative premedication. Remifentanil, a rapid- and short-acting narcotic, might be ideal for INSURE, but efficacy and safety data for this indication are limited. Objectives: To assess whether remifentanil premedication increases extubation success rates compared with morphine, and to evaluate remifentanil's safety and usability in a teaching hospital context. Methods: Retrospective review of remifentanil orders for premedication, at a large teaching hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We compared INSURE failure rates (needing invasive ventilation after INSURE) with prior morphine-associated rates. Additionally, we surveyed NICU staff to identify usability and logistic issues with remifentanil. Results: 73 remifentanil doses were administered to 62 neonates (mean 31.6 ± 3.8 weeks' gestation). Extubation was successful in 88%, vs. 33% with morphine premedication (p < 0.001). Significant adverse events included chest wall rigidity (4%), one case of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) post-surfactant, naloxone reversal (5%), and notable transient desaturation (34%). Among 137 completed surveys, 57% indicated concerns, including delayed drug availability (median 1.1 h after order), rapid desaturations narrowing intubation timeframes and hindering trainee involvement, and difficulty with bag-mask ventilation after unsuccessful intubation attempts. Accordingly, 33% of ultimate intubators were attending neonatologists, versus 16% trainees. Conclusions: Remifentanil premedication was superior to morphine in allowing successful extubation, despite occasional chest wall rigidity and unfavorable conditions for trainees. We recommend direct supervision and INSURE protocols aimed at ensuring rapid intubation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) as respiratory support for preterm infants is being advocated as an alternative to prophylactic surfactant and treatment with mechanical ventilation. A number of infants treated with early nCPAP do not need treatment with surfactant, but few studies provide data on this. Since the 1990s, the first approach to respiratory support to preterm infants in Denmark has been early nCPAP combined with surfactant administration by the INSURE method by which the infant is intubated and surfactant administration is followed by rapid extubation to nCPAP if possible. OBJECTIVES To investigate how often surfactant was administered in preterm infants with a gestational age below 34 weeks treated with early nCPAP as a first approach to respiratory support. METHODS An observational multicentre study including all inborn infants with a gestational age below 34 weeks admitted to 1 of the 4 level 3 neonatal intensive care units in Denmark in the period from 2000 to 2013. RESULTS A total of 6,628 infants were included in this study. We found that surfactant was administered in 1,056 of 1,799 (59%; 95% CI: 57-61%), in 821 of 2,864 (29%; 95% CI: 27-31%), and in 132 of 1,796 (7%; 95% CI: 6-8%) of the infants with a gestational age from 24 to 27, 28 to 31, and 32 to 33 weeks and 6 days, respectively. CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of preterm infants treated with early nCPAP as the first approach to respiratory support was never treated with surfactant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A new guideline for the early respiratory management of preterm infants that included early nCPAP and INSURE was recently introduced in our NICU. This case series describes the clinical courses of a group of preterm infants managed according to this guideline, and reports the rates of successful extubation within 30 minutes of surfactant administration with and without the use of naloxone and adverse events encountered. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive case series of all preterm babies admitted to our unit who were candidates for INSURE procedure with premedication from August 2012 to August 2013. RESULTS A total of 31 infants were included with a mean birth weight of 1178 grams and a mean gestational age of 28.4 weeks. Twelve out of thirteen (92%) infants in the naloxone group were extubated within 30 minutes of surfactant administration while only 12/18 (67%) in the non-naloxone group were extubated within the same time frame. No adverse reactions were noted with naloxone usage in this context. CONCLUSION Naloxone can be effective in reversing the respiratory depressive effect of analgesic premedication and in turn facilitates expeditious extubation in some preterm infants intubated for INSURE procedure.

Abstract
Background Although beneficial in clinical practice, the INtubate-SURfactant-Extubate (IN-SUR-E) method is not successful in all preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome, with a reported failure rate ranging from 19 to 69 %. One of the possible mechanisms responsible for the unsuccessful IN-SUR-E method, requiring subsequent re-intubation and mechanical ventilation, is the inability of the preterm lung to achieve and maintain an “optimal” functional residual capacity. The importance of lung recruitment before surfactant administration has been demonstrated in animal studies showing that recruitment leads to a more homogeneous surfactant distribution within the lungs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the application of a recruitment maneuver using the high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) modality just before the surfactant administration followed by rapid extubation (INtubate-RECruit-SURfactant-Extubate: IN-REC-SUR-E) with IN-SUR-E alone in spontaneously breathing preterm infants requiring nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) as initial respiratory support and reaching pre-defined CPAP failure criteria. Methods/design In this study, 206 spontaneously breathing infants born at 24+0–27+6 weeks’ gestation and failing nCPAP during the first 24 h of life, will be randomized to receive an HFOV recruitment maneuver (IN-REC-SUR-E) or no recruitment maneuver (IN-SUR-E) just prior to surfactant administration followed by prompt extubation. The primary outcome is the need for mechanical ventilation within the first 3 days of life. Infants in both groups will be considered to have reached the primary outcome when they are not extubated within 30 min after surfactant administration or when they meet the nCPAP failure criteria after extubation. Discussion From all available data no definitive evidence exists about a positive effect of recruitment before surfactant instillation, but a rationale exists for testing the following hypothesis: a lung recruitment maneuver performed with a step-by-step Continuous Distending Pressure increase during High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (and not with a sustained inflation) could have a positive effects in terms of improved surfactant distribution and consequent its major efficacy in preterm newborns with respiratory distress syndrome. This represents our challenge. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02482766. Registered on 1 June 2015.

Abstract
AIM Preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) requiring surfactant treatment are often retrieved mechanically ventilated to the receiving hospital. INSURE (INtubate, SURfactant, Extubate) technique is not routinely performed by Newborn and Pediatric Emergency Transport Services NSW (NETS) during retrieval. This study aims to evaluate the likelihood of using INSURE technique during retrieval. We attempted to study the clinical characteristics of preterm infants with RDS who were favourably extubated (FE) shortly after admission to the receiving hospital. METHODS Retrospective study of preterm infants, gestational age (GA) > 28 weeks with RDS requiring retrieval by NETS. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-three infants, median GA of 33 weeks (range 29-36), median birthweight 2200 g (1000-4080) were examined. A percentage of 49.7 received CPAP, and 50.3% required MV. Eighteen (16%) infants were FE (<6 h) at receiving hospital. FiO2 on stabilisation (FiO2 (st)) by NETS correlated with FiO2 on admission to receiving hospital (r = 0.863). A percentage of 81 of ventilated infants received premedications including morphine. No significant differences were noted for GA, stabilisation ventilator settings, surfactant dose (mean 155 mg/kg) and mode of transport between FE and non-FE groups. FiO2 (st) post-surfactant treatment was significantly lower in FE compared with non-FE group (mean 0.28 vs. 0.41 respectively). The area under the curve from receiver operating characteristic based on FiO2 (st) was 0.646 (P = 0.050), the sensitivity and specificity of FiO2 (st) cut-off points (between 0.25 and 0.30) was low. CONCLUSION FiO2 on stabilisation post-surfactant treatment has a weak predictive value and may not be adequate to be used as sole criteria to extubate to CPAP prior to transport. FiO2 at stabilisation should be included as an eligibility criteria for a randomised trial of INSURE during retrieval, but other clinical assessments are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early respiratory management of very low birth weight infants has changed over recent years to a practice of early use of CPAP with early selective surfactant administration, and decreased use of mechanical ventilation. One strategy is to use the combination of surfactant and prompt extubation to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (INtubate, SURfactant, Extubate, or INSURE). The aim of this study is to describe blood flow and ductal flow in a prospective cohort during the transitional period when this respiratory management strategy is used. METHODS Inborn infants <29week gestation underwent INSURE within 30min of birth using 200mg/kg Curosurf. Blood pressure and blood flow parameters (RVO, LVO, SVC flow, ductus arteriosus) were measured at 6, 24 and 72h of age and information on morbidity was collected. RESULTS Sixty-eight infants with a median (range) weight of 940 (450-1380) g were studied. 13 (19%) patients needed mechanical ventilation within 72h of life (INSURE failure). Blood flows and blood pressure were within reported ranges. Eleven (16%) patients had a blood pressure <gestational age and 9 (13%) patients had low blood flow. CONCLUSION These data show a low prevalence of low blood pressure and low blood flow in the first 3days after INSURE as compared to cohorts where mechanical ventilation was preferred during transition. We speculate that altered ventilation strategies have helped decrease the incidence of low blood flow and low blood pressure.

Abstract
Background: Surfactant administration together with nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) administration is considered to be the basis for Newborn's Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) management. This study evaluated the method of directing the surfactant to the lungs in newborns affiliated with RDS through i-gel (i-gel surfactant administration/i-gelSA) compared to the standard care INSURE method, in a clinical trial. Materials and Methods: This randomized control trial (RCT) was done on newborns weighing ≥2000 g, with RDS, while being supported with Bubble-CPAP. Newborns, which required FiO2 ≥0.3 under Continuous Distending Pressure (CDP) ≥5 cm H2O for more than 30 minutes to maintain SpO2 in the range of 89 - 95%, were given 100 mg/kg of Survanta. In the interventional group or the i-gelSA (i-gel Surfactant Administration) group, 35 newborns experienced surfactant administration with i-gel and 35 newborns in the control or INSURE group. The average a/APO2 before and after surfactant administration, repeated need for surfactant administration, average nCPAP duration, need for invasive mechanical ventilation, pneumothorax, and the average duration of hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) were compared. Results: Although the average a/APO2 showed no significant difference before the procedure; in the i-gelSA group, this average was meaningfully higher after the administration of the surfactant (P = 0.001). The other factors showed no significant difference. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the surfactant administration using i-gel was more successful in oxygenation improvement than the INSURE method, and the i-gel method could even be promoted to the standard care position. However, more research is needed in this area.
