Interventions
Evaluation of serial lung ultrasound data after ENSURE surfactant treatments
Intubating the infant, administering intratracheal surfactant, and then extubating them back to nasal respiratory support (ENSURE method)
Evaluation of serial lung ultrasound data after LISA surfactant treatments
Delivering surfactant via a thin catheter (5F) directly into the trachea while the infant remains on existing nasal respiratory support, without disconnecting them from it (LISA method)
