Surfactant administration via thin catheter (S‐TC) vs surfactant administration through an endotracheal tube (S‐ETT)

Severe intraventricular haemorrhage · preterm infants with or at risk of respiratory distress syndrome

Surfactant administration via thin catheter (S‐TC) may leads to lower severe intraventricular haemorrhage (grade III or IV) compared with surfactant administration through an endotracheal tube (S‐ETT) (low certainty).
