Feeding or fasting? study probes transfusion risks in tiny preemies
NCT ID NCT07191678
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at very preterm babies to understand how feeding during blood transfusions affects blood flow and oxygen levels in their gut. Researchers will use non-invasive monitors to measure these changes in 270 infants. The goal is to find safer care practices that could lower the risk of a severe gut condition called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
