Study summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether there are differences in bioelectrical function (measured by amplitude integrated electroencephalography) and brain oxygenation (measured by near infrared spectroscopy) while and after instillation of two different surfactant preparations.

Read the detailed description

Patients randomized to one of the treatment groups: 1) SRT with porcine preparation - poractant alfa; 2) SRT with bovine preparation - beractant. Continuous monitoring and simultaneous recordeding of 1) saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) measured with pulse oximetry, cerebral tissue oxygenation measured with near-infrared spectroscopy, amplitude-integrated electroencephalography.
