Official title
Randomized Controlled Trial of Video-Laryngoscopy Intervention or Direct Laryngoscopy for Delivery of Less Invasive Surfactant Administration for Premature Infants
Overview
Many preterm babies born between 22-28+6 weeks' estimated gestational age (EGA) need surfactant, a medicine that helps the lungs. The goal of the study is to compare the use of video-based visualization to direct visualization during a procedure called less invasive surfactant administration (LISA). The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1) does one method of visualization have a increased rate of giving the medicine successfully on the first attempt? 2) what benefits are there of each method?
Interventions
- Procedure Video Laryngoscopy
Video Laryngoscopy will be used to visualize the vocal cords and place the LISA catheter - Procedure Direct Laryngoscopy
Direct Laryngoscopy will be used to visualize the vocal cords and place the LISA catheter
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of first attempt success [Time frame: During procedure]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Duration of desaturation below 80% SpO2 (sec), [Time frame: during procedure]
- Duration of bradycardia (HR <100 bpm) [Time frame: procedure duration]
- Number of desaturation/bradycardia episodes [Time frame: during procedure]
- Number of surfactant installation attempts [Time frame: during procedure]
- Time to completion of surfactant installation [Time frame: during procedure]
- Time to insertion of thin catheter [Time frame: during procedure]
- Amount of surfactant in stomach at the end of the procedure [Time frame: within 5 min after procedure]
- Mean maximum fractioned inspired O2 used [Time frame: during procedure]
- Lowest oxygen saturation during catheter insertion [Time frame: during procedure]
- Fractionated inspired oxygen (FiO2) at 60 mins post procedure [Time frame: 60 minutes post-procedure]
- Lowest heart rate during catheter insertion [Time frame: during procedure]
- Cross over to alternative method [Time frame: during procedure]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Infants born ≤28 weeks GA successfully resuscitated in the delivery room (DR) and maintained on CPAP • Need for surfactant in the first 36 hours of life based on clinical assessment and/or meeting threshold per unit protocol
Exclusion criteria

- Infants with known congenital anomalies or
- Infants who are determined by the primary care team to receive comfort care only or
- Infants who are intubated at any time prior to surfactant administration
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
