Abstract Background: The effects of minimally invasive surfactant administration (MISA) in preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) are unclear. Methods: We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and compared MISA techniques with intubation for surfactant delivery in preterm infants with NRDS in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Results: Thirteen RCTs (1931 infants) were included in the meta-analysis. The use of MISA techniques decrease the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks, pneumothorax, and hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) (Risk Ratio(RR) : 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) : 0.46 to 0.75, p < .0001; RR : 0.60, 95% CI : 0.39 to 0.93, p= .02 and RR : 0.88, 95% CI : 0.78 to 1.00, p= .04, respectively). In addition, infants in the MISA group required less mechanical ventilation within 72 h of life or during hospitalization (RR : 0.60, 95% CI : 0.48 to 0.75, p< .00001 and RR : 0.64, 95% CI : 0.49 to 0.82, p = .0005, respectively) compared with infants in the control group. However, the rate of surfactant reflux was higher in the MISA group than that in the control group (RR : 2.12, 95% CI : 1.37 to 3.29, p = .0008). There were no significant differences in mortality and other outcomes beteween the MISA group and the control group. Conclusions: The administration of surfactant with MISA techniques could lower the requirement for mechanical ventilation, and decrease the incidence of BPD at 36 weeks, pneumothorax, and hsPDA.

Ten newborn babies with severe respiratory distress syndrome, all dependent on artificial ventilation, were treated via the airways with the isolated phospholipid fraction of bovine or porcine surfactant. After treatment with surfactant at a median age of 10.5h, there was in all patients a striking improvement of lung aeration in chest films, with a decrease in parenchymal fluid retention and in distension of bronchioli. These radiologic findings were associated with a dramatic improvement of oxygenation and a significant reduction of the right-to-left shunt. In spite of the rapid therapeutic response, four patients died from cerebral hemorrhage. One of the surviving patients developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Our findings document efficacy of this new surfactant preparation in the neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, but the long-term effects need to be further tested in randomized clinical trials.
