Official Title: Efficacy of a New Technique -"IN-REC-SUR-E"- in Preterm Neonates With Respiratory Distress Syndrome During Non Invasive Ventilation: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: The primary hypothesis of this study is reduction in need of mechanical ventilation in the first 72 hours of life (excluding the transient tracheal intubation performed for surfactant administration and the mechanical ventilation for lung recruitment) in spontaneously breathing infants born at 24+0-27+6 weeks' gestation and failing nCPAP during the first 24 hours of life who received an HFOV recruitment maneuver (IN-REC-SUR-E) compared to no recruitment maneuver (IN-SUR-E) just prior to surfactant administration followed by prompt extubation.
