Resumen:	Objective: To evaluate the initial doses of surfactant administered to preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study of 206 preterm infants admitted in four level III neonatal intensive care units of acute tertiary care hospitals in Spain between 2013 and 2015. Results: The mean initial dose of surfactant was 173. 9 (37. 3) mg/kg, and 47. 5% of infants received a dose of 200 mg/kg ± 10% (180-220 mg/kg), 47% less than 180 mg/kg (-10%), and 5. 4% more than 220 mg/kg (+10%). Very preterm infants (<28 weeks) received higher initial doses than more mature infants, but in all cases, the mean doses were below the recommended 200 mg/kg (by 9. 2% in gestational age 23-28 weeks, by 15. 9% in 29-32 weeks, and by 24. 3% in >32 weeks). Conclusion: Administration of surfactant below the prescribed dose is a frequent error in clinical practice. Inadvertently rounding down doses seems a plausible explanation.
