Comparison of Transcutaneous Bilirubin Measurement With Total Serum Bilirubin Levels in Preterm Neonates Receiving Phototherapy.
OBJECTIVE To compare transcutaneous bilirubin with total serum bilirubin in preterm neonates after initiation of phototherapy. METHODS Jaundice was assessed in 30 preterm neonates with transcutaneous bilirubin and total serum bilirubin before initiation of phototherapy and at 12 hr after initiation of phototherapy. A photo-occlusive patch was applied over the sternum. RESULTS Transcutaneous...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubinometry in Malay, Chinese and Indian term neonates.
The transcutaneous (Tc) bilirubinometer was evaluated in 105 jaundiced neonates, comprising 38 Malays, 37 Chinese and 30 Indians, who had not been treated with phototherapy or exchange transfusion. Tc bilirubin index and serum bilirubin concentration correlated at statistically significant levels in all the three racial groups. Unlike the Chinese and Malay babies, the action levels, using Tc bi...
متن کاملImpact of Combined Oral Zinc Sulfate and Phototherapy on Serum Bilirubin Levels in the Term Neonates with Jaundice
Background: Jaundice is a physiological phenomenon and common disorder in the neonatal period. Jaundice occurs in the first month of life in 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates, leading to hospitalization. The present study aimed to determine the effect of oral zinc sulfate on serum bilirubin levels in the neonates undergoing phototherapy. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conduc...
متن کاملSerum bilirubin kinetics in intermittent phototherapy of physiological jaundice.
Thirty four term babies with physiological jaundice were subjected to continuous phototherapy and to two regimens of intermittent phototherapy. The difference in serum bilirubin kinetics between the three groups of treated babies was insignificant; a schedule of one in four hours of irradiation achieved the same treatment effect as continuous phototherapy.
متن کاملRebound in serum bilirubin level following intensive phototherapy.
OBJECTIVES To document the need for repeated phototherapy (as an index of significant rebound in serum bilirubin levels) following the discontinuation of intensive phototherapy and to compare the use of repeated phototherapy in infants who first received phototherapy during their birth hospitalization with the use of first-time phototherapy on readmission after infants were discharged from thei...
