Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research is to learn new information that may help other infants that have respiratory distress syndrome and need breathing support after birth. The goal of this research is to see if continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) alone or CPAP with surfactant administration through a less invasive method via an Airway Device (supraglottic airway device) temporarily placed above the vocal cords is better for treating respiratory distress syndrome in late preterm and early term infants.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Prophylactic Surfactant

A single dose of surfactant (Curosurf) will be given via Surfactant Administration Through Laryngeal or Supraglottic Airways (SALSA). Infants who receive SALSA will remain on non-invasive respiratory support (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Surfactant Administration Through Laryngeal or Supraglottic Airway (SALSA)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A single dose of surfactant will be given via Surfactant Administration Through Laryngeal or Supraglottic Airways (SALSA). A supraglottic airway device will be used as a standardized procedure for surfactant administration via SALSA using an AirLife Air-Q.

Expectant Management (CPAP)

For participating infants randomly assigned to receive continuation of non-invasive respiratory support, they will remain on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Infants to receive continuation of non-invasive respiratory support will remain on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

Infants to receive continuation of non-invasive respiratory support will remain on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
