Abstract Background: Preterm infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) are usually managed with endotracheal intubation and surfactant administration followed by mechanical ventilation however this has immediate and long-term complications. Hence, INSURE (Intubate, surfactant administration and extubate) method combined with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support has been accepted as an alternative method in eligible infants. Aim of this study is to look at our experience of administering INSURE and to look at the factors predisposing to the failure of INSURE. Methods: A retrospective chart review was done of all the babies who were born in a tertiary hospital between 1 st January 2014 to 31 st December 2015 (2 years) and received surfactant through INSURE method. Infants requiring reintubation and mechanical ventilation within 3 days post INSURE are considered as INSURE failure for our study purpose. Results: Eighty-five infants were included in the review with gestational age (GA) ranging from 26 +3 to 35 +5 weeks and birth weight ranging from 680 to 3340 grams. Of these, 22 infants (26%) had INSURE failure. INSURE failure rate was higher in infants born <30 weeks gestation (40%). Higher FiO2 requirement prior to INSURE (mean FIO 2 0.5 vs 0.3, P value <0.001) and preeclampsia in mothers of infants < 30 weeks of GA (P value 0.027) were strongly associated with INSURE failure. No mortality was noted in either group. Conclusion: We found that INSURE method may be useful in preventing the need for mechanical ventilation in late preterm infants with RDS. However, this method may be less successful in preterm infants with lower GA (<30 weeks) and higher FiO2 requirement (≥0.5). More prospective studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of INSURE method.

Abstract Objective To compare the lung ultrasonography (LUS) scores after two different natural surfactant administration as a parameter reflecting lung inflation. Study Design Preterm infants of 32 gestational weeks and below who were diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) were randomly assigned to be administered either poractant alfa or beractant, prospectively. Serial LUS scans were obtained by an experienced neonatologist in a standardized manner before and after (2 and 6 hours) surfactant administration. The LUS scans were evaluated by protocols based on scores and lung profiles. Results Thirty-seven infants received poractant alfa and 36 received beractant. The baseline characteristics and presurfactant LUS scores were similar in groups. The scores were significantly decreased after surfactant administration in both groups (2 hours, p = < 0.001; 6 hours, p = < 0.001). LUS scores in poractant group were significantly lower than beractant group when compared at each time point. At the end of 6 hours, the number of infants with the normal profile was significantly higher in the poractant group (∼65%) than the beractant group (22%). Conclusion LUS is beneficial for evaluating lung aeration after surfactant treatment in preterm infants with RDS. A better lung aeration can be achieved in the early period with the use of poractant alfa.

Novel Approaches

Surfactant replacement therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome for more than twenty years. For the most part, surfactant is administered intratracheally, followed by mechanical ventilation. In recent years, the growing interest in noninvasive ventilation has led to novel approaches of administration. This paper will review these techniques and the associated clinical evidence.

Abstract Background: The effects of minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) in preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) are unclear. Methods: We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and compared MISA techniques with intubation for surfactant delivery in preterm infants with NRDS in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Results: Thirteen RCTs (1931 infants) were included in the meta-analysis. The use of MISA techniques decrease the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks, pneumothorax, and hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) (Risk Ratio(RR) : 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) : 0.46 to 0.75, p < .0001; RR : 0.60, 95% CI : 0.39 to 0.93, p= .02 and RR : 0.88, 95% CI : 0.78 to 1.00, p= .04, respectively). In addition, infants in the MISA group required less mechanical ventilation within 72 h of life or during hospitalization (RR : 0.60, 95% CI : 0.48 to 0.75, p< .00001 and RR : 0.64, 95% CI : 0.49 to 0.82, p = .0005, respectively) compared with infants in the control group. However, the rate of surfactant reflux was higher in the MISA group than that in the control group (RR : 2.12, 95% CI : 1.37 to 3.29, p = .0008). There were no significant differences in mortality and other outcomes beteween the MISA group and the control group. Conclusions: The administration of surfactant with MISA techniques could lower the requirement for mechanical ventilation, and decrease the incidence of BPD at 36 weeks, pneumothorax, and hsPDA.
