Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Efficacy of nasal intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in early rescue surfactant treatment in preterm infants3 months

If infants needed invasive MV or Required a fraction of inspired oxygen of \>40% to maintain the targeted saturation of \>88% to 92%, surfactant treatment will give for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). It means that nasal IMV or CPAP is ineffective.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complications of respiratory support3 months

respiratory insufficiency, pneumothorax
