Influence of catheter thickness on respiratory physiology during less invasive surfactant administration in extremely preterm infants
Catheter thickness can greatly increase tracheal resistance during LISA-procedures in ELGANs. Based on these models, it is recommended to use the thinnest catheter possible during LISA in ELGANs to avoid unnecessary increases in airway resistance in infants already experiencing dyspnea due to respiratory distress syndrome.
