Current international guidelines on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) recommend continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) stabilization as primary treatment. Some guidelines recommend surfactant replacement for babies requiring FiO > 0.3 regardless of gestational age (GA). We explore the accuracy of alternative inspired oxygen fraction (FiO ) thresholds as early predictors of surfactant replacement in babies stratified by GA.
