Study Summary

The purpose of this trial is to study the effect that anemia and red blood cell (RBC) transfusions have on oxygen levels in the digestive tracts of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants and to look for possible markers in a baby's blood, urine and/or stool that may lead to a better understanding of what makes an ELBW infant at risk for digestive tract problems such as necrotizing enterocolitis.

Primary Outcome

Mesenteric tissue oxygenation is measured in infants receiving RBC transfusion. Mesenteric regional saturation of oxygen (MES-rSO2) levels are measured via the INVOS 5100C Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter by applying an adhesive sensor probe to the patient's periumbilical area for mesenteric monitoring. MES-rSO2 will be compared between infants receiving RBC transfusion with and without IST.
