Minimally Invasive Surfactant Administration: From LISA to Aerosol to SALSA

Explore the evolving landscape of surfactant delivery with a focus on patient-centered care. This session introduces three minimally invasive techniques—LISA (Less Invasive Surfactant Administration), aerosolized surfactant, and SALSA (Surfactant Administration through Laryngeal or Supraglottic Airways)—through engaging video demonstrations and expert-led discussion. Led by an internationally experienced educator and current study chair on aerosol delivery, this session equips clinicians with the knowledge and skills to tailor surfactant administration to individual patient needs and prepare for the future of neonatal respiratory care.

Learning Outcomes:
Review and compare the current methods to deliver surfactant in a minimally invasive way: LISA, aerosol, and SALSA.
Identify which techniques might be best for the needs of your patients.
Obtain the skills needed through videos and a discussion of the techniques so minimally invasive surfactant administration can be implemented in your practice.
