Video vs direct laryngoscopy for surfactant in newborns
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing a thin tube into a newborn's windpipe to give surfactant—a medicine that helps their lungs work better. It will help doctors understand which method is safer and easier for babies needing this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn of any sex
- Your baby needs a thin tube placed into their windpipe to receive surfactant medicine
- You give permission for your baby's data to be used in this study

This study compares two ways of putting a breathing tube into newborn babies: using a video camera to see the airway versus the standard method of looking directly. It aims to find which technique is safer and more effective.
This study compares two methods—video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy—to give surfactant (a medicine that helps babies' lungs work better) to very premature infants. It aims to find which method is safer and easier for babies born at 28 weeks or earlier who need surfactant within the first 36 hours after birth.
This study compares two ways of giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) to premature babies who need extra breathing support. It aims to find which method works better and is safer for infants born at 29 to 36 weeks.
This trial tests if giving surfactant (a natural substance that helps lungs stay open) through a special airway device can help late preterm and early term infants with breathing problems. The goal is to see if this approach works better than current methods without needing a breathing tube.
This trial compares two types of surfactant (Calfactant and Poractant Alfa) given through a less invasive method to very premature babies with breathing problems. It aims to see if one works better at helping them breathe without needing a breathing tube.
This study looks at different ways doctors give a life-saving medication called surfactant to premature babies who are struggling to breathe. Researchers want to understand which delivery methods work best and help improve care.
