Summary
This is a randomized controlled study to investigate the effect of application of sustained lung inflation (SLI) at birth on the respiratory outcome of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome.
Detailed description
Enrolled infants (n=160) were randomized before birth into 2 groups (intervention and control group) in a ratio 1:1. Randomization was done through an online randomizer (www.graphpad.com), and sealed envelopes were used to assign the infant to one of the two groups.
