Abstract

Surfactant therapy is the cornerstone of respiratory distress syndrome management. "Less-invasive surfactant administration (LISA)" is now recommended for spontaneously breathing preterm infants. Analgosedation remains controversial as 52% of European neonatologists do not use any. This systematic review aims to describe the efficacy and safety of different drugs for analgosedation during LISA.
