Feasibility Study of Placement and Surfactant Administration Through a Preterm Size Laryngeal Mask Airway in Very Low Birth Weight Neonates With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Methodology Feasibility will be measure by a combination of real-life observations of the procedure and video-review with synced physiological data (oxygen saturation and heart rate). Study Site The Phu San Hanoi Hospital, the largest obstetric hospital in northern Vietnam, receives about 40.000 births annually and has a level-III neonatal intensive care unit with capacity of approximately 40 neonates. Approximately 10-15 neonates weighing less than 1500g per month are admitted who receives standard surfactant treatment with IN-tubation-SURfactant-Extubation (INSURE).
