Study to test the hypothesis that aerosolized Infasurf can decrease the need for intubation and instillation of liquid surfactant to the airway.
Treatment will not be masked. The study objective is to document that aerosolized Infasurf is superior to "usual care" and provides for some patients effective surfactant therapy with less need for endotracheal intubation and instillation of a surfactant suspension into the airway. Two cohorts will be recruited: (a) patients who did not receive surfactant at birth who develop RDS in the first hours of life and (b) patients who received instillation of surfactant for RDS in the first hour of life, were extubated, and have continuing RDS.

Drug Aerosolized Calfactant

Aerosolization of Infasurf at 6ml/kg via the modified Solarys aerosol generator.

  • Other names: Infasurf, Calfactant

Device Solarys

Aerosolization of Infasurf at 6ml/kg via the modified Solarys aerosol generator.

Aerosolized Calfactant Experimental

NICU Patients with a clinical diagnosis of RDS Inspired oxygen ≥21% to maintain adequate oxygen saturation Not Intubated Requiring Nasal continuous positive airway pressure

Usual Care No Intervention

There will be no protocol driven interventions in the usual care group.
