Warming treatment for very preterm babies after blood transfusion
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Immune system & allergy, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific “blood warming” approach can help very preterm babies keep their body temperature from getting too low (hypothermia). It’s intended to reduce temperature drops around the time they receive red blood cell transfusions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at PRISMA Health Richland hospital
- Your baby was born very early (under 32 weeks gestation)
- Your baby is in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)
- Within the first month of life, your baby received a red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion at PRISMA
- Your baby does not have major brain bleeding (Grade III or IV) or major brain/neurologic structural problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using specially prepared blood from umbilical cords (enriched with fetal hemoglobin) works better for premature babies who need blood transfusions. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications and the number of transfusions needed during hospitalization.
This trial looks at whether red blood cell transfusions are linked to health problems in very premature babies. It may help doctors better understand how to care for these infants.
This study looks at the best way to decide when to give platelet transfusions to very premature babies. It aims to help prevent bleeding while avoiding unnecessary transfusions.
This trial tests whether red blood cells made from donated cord blood are safe and effective for transfusions in extremely premature infants. It aims to see if this alternative blood source can help babies born before 28 weeks or weighing less than 1000 grams.
This trial tests different ways of transferring blood from the umbilical cord to very premature babies (born at or before 32 weeks) to see if it can prevent complications of prematurity and improve their blood counts. It aims to find the best method for helping these vulnerable newborns.
This trial looks at whether it’s safer to temporarily withhold (pause) breast milk or formula feeds around the time of a blood transfusion in very premature babies. It may help reduce gut-related complications like NEC, a serious intestinal problem.
