In this online, self-learning activity: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (nRDS) remains a leading cause of respiratory failure and morbidity among preterm infants worldwide, despite major advances in antenatal steroids, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and surfactant therapy. Contemporary guidelines emphasize early noninvasive respiratory support from birth, selective surfactant rescue once CPAP begins to fail, and structured, protocolized care across gestational age strata. Yet practice-pattern studies across high- and middle-income settings show wide variation in initial respiratory support, surfactant thresholds, and use of minimally invasive techniques, with extremely preterm and late preterm infants often receiving care that diverges from guideline-concordant pathways. These inconsistencies increase cumulative ventilator exposure and risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and other complications, underscoring a persistent implementation gap between best evidence and routine NICU care.
