A neonatologist experienced in the resuscitation and care of premature infants should attend the deliveries of fetuses born at less than 28 weeks' gestation. These neonates are at a high risk for maladaptation, which further inhibits surfactant production.
In the delivery room, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is often used in spontaneously breathing premature infants immediately after birth as a potential alternative to immediate intubation and surfactant replacement to minimize the severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Several centers have reported success with the use of nasal bubble CPAP to decrease the complications associated with intubation and mechanical ventilation. By avoiding intubation, lung injury may be diminished.
