Surfactant treatment for newborn breathing distress
This trial looks at giving a “surfactant” medicine (a substance that helps keep baby lungs open) to newborns who have serious breathing problems soon after birth. It may help babies with neonatal respiratory distress or acute breathing distress, especially if they’re treated in the early time window.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 minute–1 day - NCT06873633RecruitingPhase 2
