Effects of Late Surfactant Treatment Delivered After a Recruitment Maneuver on Respiratory Outcomes in Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborns: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial – LATE-REC-SURF Trial. Open
Background Mechanical ventilation is still needed in most preterm newborns, even in the non-invasive ventilation era. Ventilator-induced lung injury is one of the known pathogenetic factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm ne…
