N2 - Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) has evolved as an alternative method for surfactant administration. An anonymous web-based survey of 22 questions was designed and sent to 127 neonatologists in India. Seventy-seven (61%) responses were returned from 22 states across India. Among 77 participants, 53 (68.8%) were using LISA, and amongst them, 19 (35.8%) were using LISA as the preferred method. Twenty-one (39.6%) LISA-using respondents learned the technique of LISA by watching online videos, whereas 20 (37.7%) acquired this skill during in-house training sessions. Nineteen (35.8%) centers were not using any premedication before performing LISA. Twenty (37.7%) participants notified regurgitation of surfactant needing a repeat dose as the most common problem encountered while performing LISA. The most common reason for not using LISA was lack of training (n = 20, 83.33%). Though LISA is a promising method of surfactant administration, not many centers prefer LISA in India due to the absence of uniform standardized training.
