The primary purpose of this observational study was to determine if pRBC transfusions decrease the frequency of intermittent hypoxia events in very low birth weight infants (VLBW) during the first six weeks of life. The impact on non-pRBC transfusions on the frequency of intermittent hypoxia was also assessed.
