Brief Summary

Intratracheal surfactant treatment is applied in Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) Continious Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP) treatment. In recent clinical studies, two similar methods have been studied with a thin catheter without endotracheal intubation in the application of surfactant. In our neonatal intensive care unit, respiratory support is given with nasal CPAP and Humidified Heated High Flow Nasal Cannula (HHHFNC) instead of classical invasive (intubated) mechanical ventilation methods. In CPAP method, heated and humidified air is given a certain pressure (6-8 cmH2O), while in HHHFNC method, heated humidified air is given at a certain flow rate (6-8 L / min). This study was planned to compare the results of infants who were given surfactant with MIST (Minimal Invazive Surfactant Treatment) method under CPAP or HHHFNC support in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in premature babies. During surfactant application, babies will be monitored (as in all babies in the NICU) saturation, peak heart rate, perfusion index (the ratio of nonpulsatile flow in the capillary bed) and t values will be recorded. For all these reasons, monitoring of PI (Perfusion Index), PVI (plethysmographic variability index) and continuous transcutaneous PCO2 and PO2 values are of great importance for the prevention of mortality and morbidity, as well as monitoring of oxygen saturation values with pulse oximetry in premature babies. In our hospital, it was planned to take a total of 40 patients born under 32 weeks and less than 1500 grams (20 patients being in the HHHNFC, 20 patients in the CPAP group). Patients will be consecutively distributed to two groups until they reach the specified number of patients. In this study, it was aimed to monitor continuous oxygen saturation, PI, PVI, transcutaneous PO2 and PCO2 measurements just before, during and after the surfactant application and to compare the results of babies who received nCPAP and HHHFNC support. At the end of the study, all data will be entered in an SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) file and study statistics will be made. A database will be created using SPSS software. A p value of \<0.05 was determined as the limit of significance.
