Transcutaneous bilirubinometer in assessment of neonatal jaundice in northern India.
This study was undertaken from April 2002 to March 2003 to find out the correlation of transcutaneous bilirubinometer index with serum bilirubin levels in term, pre-term, small for gestation age babies, with and without phototherapy in neonates with jaundice. Another aim was to evaluate the transcutaneous bilirubinometer as a screening device for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia by finding the actio...
متن کاملComparing transcutaneous bilirubin versus serum bilirubin measurement using spectrophotometry for jaundice screening of full-term neonates
Background: Neonatal jaundice is an almost common problem among neonates that may cause complications such as kernicterus in severe cases. Since early diagnosis and proper treatment of neonatal jaundice is vital to prevent the related complications, it is necessary to check bilirubin before discharging the neonates. There are several evaluating and diagnostic methods to measure the level of bil...
متن کاملPATTERN OF PHYSIOLOGIC JAUNDICE AND INCIDENCE OF \"EXAGGERATED PHYSIOLOGIC\" HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA IN IRANIAN FULL-TERM INFANTS USING TRANSCUTANEOUS BILIRUBINOMETRY
Normal full-term infants were followed by serial transcutaneous bilirubinometry over the first week of life. The pattern of physiologic jaundice in our population was similar to that shown for white infants. Mean maximum bilirubin peak was seen on day four of life and was also similar to that shown for American white infants. The incidence of non physiologic hyperbilirubinemia defined as 2...
متن کاملEvaluation of MBJ20® Transcutaneous Bilirubinometer in the Assessement of Severity of Neonatal Jaundice
The objective of this study was to evaluate the MBJ20® transcutaneous bilirubinonometer by Beijing M&B Electronic Instrument Co. Ltd. (Beijing, China) in the assessment of severity of neonatal jaundice. Two hundred and twenty-two paired samples from 88 newborns aged between 28 and 44 weeks of gestation at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi Anambra State, were analyzed. These inf...
متن کاملThe joint use of human and electronic eye: visual assessment of jaundice and transcutaneous bilirubinometry.
Our aim was to study the usefulness of jaundice visual assessment combined with skin bilirubin determination in 517 healthy newborns. Yellowness assessment was made and babies were included in three different bilirubin classes. Skin bilirubin and total serum bilirubin were determined within 10 minutes from the visual assessment. This latter led to underestimation of serum bilirubin in 16.7-40.4...
