Treatments
Experimental: Ensure group
The first method involves intubating the infant, administering intratracheal surfactant, and then extubating them back to nasal respiratory support (ENSURE method).
Experimental: Lisa group
The second method involves delivering surfactant via a thin catheter (5F) directly into the trachea while the infant remains on existing nasal respiratory support, without disconnecting them from it (LISA method).
