Evaluation of a new transcutaneous bilirubinometer.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the Minolta/Hill-Rom Air-Shields Transcutaneous Jaundice Meter model JM-103. METHODS We studied a convenience sample of 849 newborns > or =35 weeks of gestation in 3 hospitals. These infants had total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels measured on clinical indication, and transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) levels were obtained within 1 hour of the T...
متن کاملTranscutaneous Bilirubinometer
Neonatal jaundice occurs in nearly 70% of term and 80% of preterm babies. Management of jaundiced neonates often requires measurement of total serum bilirubin (TSB). Total serum bilirubin (TSB) is commonly determined by spectro-photometric methods by analyzing plasma or serum sample. Such techniques require drawing of blood causing pain and trauma to the neonate. In addition, there is a wide ra...
متن کاملTranscutaneous 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 کاملAccuracy of transcutaneous bilirubinometer estimates using BiliCheck in Thai neonates.
BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice is the most frequently encountered diagnostic and therapeutic problem in the newborn. In the jaundiced infant, it is thought that the binding capacity of plasma albumin is exceeded, which allows free bilirubin to diffuse into and accumulate within extravascular tissues, such as the central nervous system. Affected newborns may develop kernicterus. The standard metho...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Bilichek transcutaneous bilirubinometer in the Chinese new-borns
Objective: To evaluate the relation between transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) by BiliChek and total serum bilirubin (TSB) in the Chinese neonates compared with another transcutaneous Bilirubinometer (VanHou). Methods: TcB measurements were performed on the forehead by Bilichek and VanHou. Total serum bilirubin (TSB) was determined within 5 minutes after TcB measurement. The correlation and agreeme...
