Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to see if a blood transfusion changes how fast blood flows to the intestines of a premature baby. Blood flow is measured by an ultrasound test. The investigators also look to see if the blood flow to the intestines depends on whether the baby feeds or doesn't feed during the blood transfusion.

Primary Outcome

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
