Which clinical markers for appropriate timing of surfactant therapy?
Preterm infants with RDS need adequate resuscitation maneuvers and appropriate timing of surfactant replacement but about the latter there is not an universal consensus. A correct evaluation should consider at the same time the administration of antenatal steroids, the radiological criteria, the clinical presentation, the FiO2 level, OI and a/ApO2.
