Less Invasive Surfactant Administration Versus Intubate‐Surfactant‐Extubate: Associated With Reduced Mechanical Ventilation in Extremely Preterm Infants

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To compare less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and intubation‐surfactant‐extubation (INSURE) in infants born before 28 weeks gestational age (GA) by the need for mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods LISA was introduced in 2017 in our unit without formal prior LISA‐specific training as an equal alternative to INSURE.
