BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is frequently used to treat anemia of prematurity, yet bedside metrics that capture its short-term impact on oxygenation stability are limited. We assessed whether pulse oximetry histogram-derived oxygen saturation (SpO2) exposure changes after transfusion and whether responses differ across clinical subgroups.
METHODS: This prospective observational cohort included preterm infants born <32 weeks' gestation who received a standardized RBC transfusion (15 mL/kg). Continuous SpO2 histograms quantified the percentage of monitored time spent in hypoxemia (<85%), normoxemia (86-95%), and hyperoxemia (≥96%) during four intervals: 24 h pre-transfusion and 24, 48, and 72 h post-transfusion. Repeated-measures and subgroup analyses (BPD, sex, birth weight < 1000 g) were performed.
RESULTS: Thirty-three infants were analyzed (gestational age 29.4 ± 2.1 weeks; birth weight 1220.6 ± 316.9 g). Hemoglobin increased from 8.6 ± 1.1 to 11.7 ± 1.0 g/dL (p < 0.001). Cohort-level histogram shifts were modest: normoxemia increased from 68.4 ± 12.1% to 72.6 ± 11.4% at 24 h (p = 0.18), hypoxemia decreased from 10.3 ± 6.5% to 6.6 ± 4.8% (p = 0.09), and hyperoxemia remained stable (21.3 ± 9.2% to 20.8 ± 8.5%; p = 0.44). Infants with BPD and those <1000 g showed persistently higher hypoxemia and/or hyperoxemia at 72 h compared with counterparts. Exploratory ROC analyses showed modest discrimination of 24 h hypoxemia for ROP (AUC 0.71) and 72 h hyperoxemia for BPD (AUC 0.74).
CONCLUSIONS: RBC transfusion corrected anemia but did not produce a consistent cohort-level improvement in SpO2 histogram stability. Histogram metrics may help characterize heterogeneous oxygenation responses and support hypothesis generation for individualized monitoring strategies.
