The aim of this randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) protocol with the premedication of either ketamine or fentanyl by investigating whether one or the other is associated with lower rate of adverse events, hence would be preferred choice for premedication protocol.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Gestational age at birth =26 weeks; respiratory insufficiency managed with non-invasive respiratory support (nasal CPAP or high-flow); requirement for oxygen to maintain oxygen saturation (SpO2) in the target range and need for surfactant treatment (according to clinician’s assessment); if further doses of surfactant are needed, patient can be re-randomized Are the trial subjects under 18? yes Number of subjects for this age range: 40 F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) no F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Severe RDS with high oxygen requirements, severe respiratory acidosis and/or widespread atelectasis radiologically, such that ongoing ventilator support will be necessary after surfactant therapy; maxillo-facial, tracheal or known pulmonary malformations; any known chromosomal abnormality or severe malformation; an alternative cause for respiratory distress (e.g. congenital pneumonia or pulmonary hypoplasia)
