Study Summary

This study compared the use of continuous positive airway pressure initiated at birth with the early administration of surfactant administered through a tube in the windpipe within 1 hour of birth for premature infants born at 24 to 27 weeks gestation. In addition, these infants within 2 hours of birth, had a special pulse oximeter placed to continuously monitor their oxygen saturation in two different target ranges (85-89% or 91-95%). This study helped determine whether or not these two management strategies affect chronic lung disease and survival of premature infants.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
  • DRUG Surfactant
  • DRUG Supplemental oxygen with target saturation of 85 to 89%
  • DRUG Supplemental oxygen with target saturation of 91 to 95%
