Summary
This study looks at 422 late preterm and early term infants (33 to 38 weeks gestation) who have breathing trouble after birth. Researchers want to see if giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs work) through a small airway device placed above the vocal cords, along with CPAP breathing support, is better than CPAP alone. The goal is to reduce serious complications like lung collapse, shorten hospital stays, and improve feeding and survival.
