Necrotizing Enterocolitis Clinical Trial
— NIRS_RBCOfficial title:
Splanchnic Oxygenation in Response to Enteral Feeds Before and After Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Preterm Infants
Since 1987, red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have been proposed as a potential risk factor
for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), which is one of the most severe gastrointestinal
complications of prematurity.
Evidence from Doppler studies have shown a post-transfusion impairment of mesenteric blood
flow in response to feeds, whereas NIRS studies have reported transient changes of splanchnic
oxygenation after RBC transfusion; a possible role for these findings in increasing the risk
for TANEC development has been hypothesized.
The aim of this study is to evaluate SrSO2 patterns in response to enteral feeding before and
after transfusion.
