Evaluating a blood warming device for packed red blood cell transfusions to decrease hypothermia in very preterm infants: A randomised control trial protocol
This RCT will determine if warming PRBC transfusions will prevent hypothermia in preterm infants during and after blood transfusions. Results from this trial will be used to design national standards for blood transfusions in preterm infants to decrease morbidity and mortality.
