Comparator Agent  INSURE method of surfactant administration  Surfactant administration traditionally involved INSURE (Intubation, Surfactant administration and Extubation) technique first introduced by Victorin et al. in 1990 which requires intubation of trachea and positive pressure ventilation for a variable period of time. 1. Infants will be intubated with an appropriate sized endotracheal tube and surfactant (135mg/kg) administered as in LISA group while they received PPV using AMBU bag. 2. After extubation nCPAP started as in LISA group. Similar to LISA group no sedation or premedication will be used. 3. The criteria for subsequent doses of surfactant, and intubation, and mechanical ventilation will be the same as in the LISA group.  
Intervention  Less invasive surfactant administration method  Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) involves insertion of a thin catheter into the trachea of a spontaneously breathing infant and its removal immediately after surfactant administration without requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation even for a short period of time. Following LISA, surfactant spreads quickly, making use of its unique biophysical properties without the need for positive pressure ventilation. 1. A feeding tube of 6F based on individual preference will be prepared by marking a point indicating the desired depth of insertion beyond the vocal cords. 2. The required depth is calculated as nasotrageal length plus 1 cm. No sedation or vocal guard or forceps will be used. 3. The procedure being performed in the NICU by two trained persons. 4. Sedation and pain medication not administered before the procedure. 5. In NICU spontaneously breathing babies started on CPAP of 5cm of H2OandFiO2 and adjusted to achieve a target saturation of 90% to 95% using a bubble CPAP or ventilator CPAP based on availability 6. Heart rate and SpO2 will be monitored throughout the procedure. 7. Direct laryngoscopy will be performed . 6F feeding tube inserted through the vocal cords to desired depth with the CPAP prongs in situ directly with the hand without the help of any forceps. After catheter placement, the laryngoscope is removed. 8. The surfactant used will be Neosurf (bovine lipid extract surfactant suspension) Cipla pharmaceuticals, at a dose of 5mL/kg, ie, 135mg phospholipids per kg. 9. The surfactant being drawn up in a 5 to 10mL syringe and an additional 1mL of air drawn up into the syringe taking account for the dead volume of the catheter used. The surfactant will be given as a single bolus over 60 to 90seconds and the tracheal catheter immediately withdrawn. 10. Infants who suffer bradycardia (≤100 per min), desaturation (≤80%), or apnea lasting longer than 20seconds got PPV. 11. If the patient do not respond to the treatment and continued to require FiO2 more than 30% even after 6hours of giving surfactant, the patient will be given a second dose of surfactant by the same technique as was used during the first instillation of surfactant.

Brief Summary   This study is a open labelled, two parallel arm, randomized controlled trail comparing less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) with conventional INSURE method of surfactant administration in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome. Primary outcome will be the need for mechanical ventilation within 72 hours of life. Secondary outcomes will be Requirement of repeat dose of surfactant, pneumothorax, early onset sepsis, duration of oxygen requirement, duration of hospital stay, apnea, bradycardia, or desaturation during surfactant administration, mortality.
LISA will be compared as a method to INSURE method for surfactant administration.
