First seen Feb 18, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looked at 85 premature babies born at 24 to 29 weeks who had respiratory distress syndrome (breathing trouble). Doctors compared two ways of giving surfactant (a lung medicine) while the babies were on non-invasive breathing support: one method used steady pressure (CPAP) and the other used puffs of air (NIPPV). The goal was to see which method reduced the need for a breathing tube in the first 72 hours. The study is complete, but results are not yet published.
