Pilot Study to Evaluate a New Method for Endotracheal Administration of Surfactant in Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Fiberscope Assisted Surfactant Therapy (FAST)
Abstract:<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Currently, INSURE (Intubation-Surfactant-Extubation) and LISA (Less Invasive Surfactant Administration) are two recommended techniques for surfactant delivery to newborns with respiratory distress syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, tolerability of a new technique of surfactant administration in newborns without anesthesia or laryngoscopy: Fiberscope Assisted Surfactant Therapy (FAST). <b><i>Methods:</i>&… Show more
