Abstract
(JAMA. 2021;326:2478–2487)Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recommended for newly born preterm infants. A previous meta-analysis of clinical trials compared CPAP to intubation and ventilation in terms of death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia and found CPAP had a relative risk of 0.91 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.84-0.99]. In the studies used in meta-analysis, exogenous surfactant was administered only to infants with relatively high levels of inspired oxygen. This study, the OPTIMIST-A trial aimed to determine whether minimally invasive surfactant therapy, using a thin catheter, would lower the incidence of death and/or bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
