Summary
This study tests whether a technique called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) can be used in newborns with a serious gut disease called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). RIC involves briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on the baby's limb to protect the gut from damage. The goal is to see if it's possible to run a larger trial, not yet to prove it works. About 78 babies will be randomly assigned to receive RIC or standard care.
