SURFSUP is currently enrolling infants in >40 units (NICUs and non-tertiary units) across 5 countries 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇳🇿🇳🇴🇬🇧 More than 450/1000 planned participants have already participated. We are tremendously grateful to every family that has chosen to take part 😀

Welcome to the new BlueSky home for the SURFSUP Trial! SURFSUP is a RCT including preterm infants ≥1250g, comparing supraglottic airway surfactant vs minimally invasive surfactant by thin catheter in preventing surfactant treatment failure. We'll be posting updates on the trial here 🏄🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️

We did it! Baby 5000 has arrived! 🍼 Congratulations to Medway Maritime Hospital! A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible. Here’s to the next milestone! 💙 👏 @neogastrictrial.bsky.social @npeu-ctu.bsky.social @npeu-oxford.bsky.social
