Multi-infusion strategy effect on bloodstream infections in premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special method of giving multiple IV medicines at the same time can reduce serious bloodstream infections in premature babies. The study focuses on very small and early-born infants who need several infusions.

This study is testing a new blood test to see if it can help doctors decide when to use antibiotics for newborns who may have a late-onset infection. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study tests whether giving iron supplements 4 times a week is better than daily iron for premature babies. It aims to improve hemoglobin levels at 6 months.
This trial compares two approaches for premature babies born at 26 to 34 weeks who have risk factors for early infection: giving antibiotics only if they develop signs of infection versus giving them right away. It aims to find out if waiting is safe and reduces unnecessary antibiotic use.
This trial compares giving a long, continuous infusion versus standard short infusions of certain antibiotics (beta-lactams) to children with sepsis in intensive care. The goal is to find which method works better and is safer.
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 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.
