Administration of endotracheal surfactant is potentially the main treatment for neonates suffering from RDS (Respiratory Distress Syndrome), which is followed by mechanical ventilation. Late and severe complications may develop as a consequence of using mechanical ventilation. In this study, conventional methods for treatment of RDS are compared with surfactant administration, use of mechanical...

Purpose: The study aimed to examine whether prophylactic surfactant replacement therapy (SRT) with less invasive administration (LISA) by tracheal catheterization in a group of spontaneously breathing preterm infants would improve clinical outcomes compared SRT the INtubation-SURfactantExtubation (INSURE) method.Methods: We 20 infants, 25 29 weeks gestation or birth weight than 1,250 g, treated...

introduction respiratory distress syndrome (rds) is a current cause of morbidity in premature infants resulted from surfactant deficiency. the primary aim of this randomized study was to describe the feasibility of early administration of surfactant via a thin catheter during spontaneous breathing (tec) and compare its outcomes with the insure (intubate, surfactant, extubate) procedure material...

BACKGROUND The INtubation-SURfactant-Extubation (INSURE) is a procedure that is increasingly being used to treat the respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants. The objective of this study was to identify predictors for an unsuccessful INSURE procedure. METHODS The neonates included were less than 32 weeks' gestation, treated with surfactant in the neonatal intensive care unit, and born...

By using Lyapunov's second method [13], some new results are established, which insure that the zero solution of non-linear vector differential equations of the form is unstable.

Background: In recent years, various noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) of ventilation has been provided more in neonates. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of HFNC with NCPAP in post-extubation of preterm infants with RDS after INSURE method (intubation, surfactant, extubation).Methods: A total of 54 preterm infants with RDS (respiratory distress syndrome) were enrolled in thi...

BACKGROUND Various strategies have been suggested for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the efficacies of two common methods of RDS management among neonates with low birth weight. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cohort study was conducted on 98 neonates with definite diagnosis of RDS during 2008-2009. The neonates were divided into...
