Need for intubation within the first 72 hours · preterm infants with or at risk of respiratory distress syndrome
Surfactant administration via thin catheter (S‐TC) probably leads to lower need for intubation within the first 72 hours compared with surfactant administration through an endotracheal tube (S‐ETT) (moderate certainty).
