| Scientific title | Effect of two different volumes of blood transfusion on cardiac function, cerebral and gut hemodynamics in neonates: a randomised controlled trial |
| Study objectives | What are the hemodynamic effects of different volumes of blood transfusion in newborn babies: effects on cardiac output, gut and cerebral flow? |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Neonatal Diseases |
| Intervention | After taking informed consent the Ultrasonographic and Doppler assessment of cerebral flow, gut flow and cardiac function, would be done 4 hours before, and 4 and 24-30 hours after transfusion. Block randomisation with stratification as per the gestation (less than and equal to and more than 30 weeks gestation) will be done. Once eligible baby will be randomised into one of the 2 groups: 1. Volume of transfusion 20 ml per kg given over 4 hours 2. Volume of transfusion 10 ml per kg given over 2 hours and repeated with 10 ml per kg transfused over two hours from same donor, 24 hours apart Each baby will act as control pre transfusion and case post transfusion. Each consented transfusion event will be enrolled as a subject. |
| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Effect of blood transfusion 2. Change in cardiac output post transfusion |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Change in gut flow 2. Change in cerebral flow 3. Effect on Hemoglobin concentration |
