The Effect of the Type and the Method of Surfactant Administration on Oxygenation in Preterm Infants: a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study
The Effect of the Type and the Method of Surfactant Administration on Oxygenation in Preterm Infants: a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Study
The purpose of this study is to assess changes in cerebral oxygenation during two different types (beractant and poractant) and two different routes (double lumen or single lumen endotracheal tube) of surfactant administration using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
