MISA to NRDS:a Multicenter Study in China

BACKGROUND Treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome with exogenous surfactant and mechanical ventilation made millions of preterm infants survived in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Endotracheal intubation surfactant administration is related to invasive intubation and short periods of positive pressure ventilation and implies the risk of lung injury. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or NIPPV (Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation) with surfactant but without intubation may work synergistically. This randomized trial investigated a minimal invasive surfactant administration (MISA). To test the hypothesis that MISA increases survival without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks' gestational age in very low birth weight infants.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The Minimal Invasive Surfactant Administration (MISA) was a multicenter, randomized, clinical, parallel-group study conducted between July 1st, 2017, and November 30, 2018, in 8 level III neonatal intensive care units in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei province, China. The final follow-up date was March 30, 2019. Participants enrolled spontaneously breathing preterm infants born between 26.1 and 31.9 weeks' gestational age with signs of respiratory distress syndrome. In an intention-to-treat design, infants were randomly assigned to receive surfactant (Calf pulmonary surfactant, Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Co., China) either via a 5Fr nasogastric tube during CPAP/NIPPV-assisted spontaneous breathing (minimal invasive surfactant administration group, MISA group) or after conventional endotracheal intubation during mechanical ventilation (endotracheal intubation surfactant administration group, EISA group).

INTERVENTION MISA via a 5Fr nasogastric tube with an ophthalmic surgery straight forceps.

Treatment and study plan

Minimal Invasive surfactant administration

Procedure

Participants enrolled spontaneously breathing preterm infants born between 26.1 and 31.9 weeks' gestational age with signs of respiratory distress syndrome. Preterm infants of the MISA (Minimal invasive surfactant administration) group were assigned to receive surfactant (Calf pulmonary surfactant, Double-Crane Pharmaceutical Co., China) via a 5Fr nasogastric tube with an ophthalmic surgery straight forceps during CPAP/NIPPV-assisted spontaneous breathing.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)

    Time frame: At 36 weeks'gestational age

    Number of very low birth weight preterm infants with BPD

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of major complications

    Time frame: Through study completion and up to corrected three months

    Number of very low birth weight preterm infants diagnosed with major complications (i.e.patent ductus arteriosus,pulmonary hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and retinopathy of prematurity)
