Airway injury and pneumomediastinum associated with less invasive surfactant administration in a premature neonate: a case report

Abstract Background The use of less invasive surfactant administration (LISA)/minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST) has increased due to its potential advantage over traditional surfactant delivery methods through an endotracheal tube. Known complications for this procedure include failure of...
