Summary
This study watches 300 premature babies who need surfactant—a natural substance that helps their lungs stay open. Doctors will use different methods to give the medicine, like a thin tube or a mask, and track which babies need a breathing machine or more medicine within 72 hours. The goal is to find the safest and most effective method to guide future research.
