Although the management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants has been characterized by significant progress in recent years, it is difficult to translate the research results into clinical practice. Previous surveys have demonstrated that in some areas, the current management of RDS does not reflect evidence from randomized trials. Therefore, the Pulmonology Study Group of the Italian Society of Neonatology decided to perform a similar survey in Italy with the aim of identifying possible aspects of respiratory management of preterm infants with RDS that merit improvement, and of suggesting focused interventions for their resolution.
