Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Respiratory problems in neonates are one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. These respiratory problems are seen in premature neonates, which mainly include respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), pneumonia, requiring ventilatory assistance or oxygen support
