Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Blood Transfusion on Blood Flow to the Intestines of Premature Infants (NCT NCT00167388)

NCT ID: NCT00167388

Last Updated: 2017-07-21

Results Overview

Time-averaged mean and Peak systolic Doppler blood flow velocity in the mesenteric artery was measured before and after a feed when the baby was anemic (pre-PRBC transfusion) and then again when the baby was immediately post-transfusion

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 hour

Population: the number below represents the change in the parameter with feeding while the baby anemic (pre-transfusion)

Time-averaged mean and Peak systolic Doppler blood flow velocity in the mesenteric artery was measured before and after a feed when the baby was anemic (pre-PRBC transfusion) and then again when the baby was immediately post-transfusion
