A Comparison between Transcutaneous Bilirubin (TcB) and Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) Measurements in Term Neonates
Background: Transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TCB) is a simple method for estimating bilirubin levels in neonates. This method is noninvasive, quick, and painless. We aimed to compare serum and cutaneous bilirubin measurements in term neonates.Method: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 200 neonates with icter with birth weights of at least 2500 grams were studied. TCB was measured using a...
متن کاملComparison 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 کاملValidation of a transcutaneous bilirubin meter in Mongolian neonates: comparison with total serum bilirubin
BACKGROUND Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, especially kernicterus, can be prevented by screening for neonatal jaundice. The transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) meter is a non-invasive medical device for screening neonates. The study aimed to investigate the validity of a TcB meter in a resource-limited setting such as Mongolia. METHODS Term and late preterm neonates from the National Center for Mater...
متن کاملTrends of transcutaneous bilirubin in neonates who develop significant hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVES To provide data on the natural course of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) levels in neonates before the development of significant hyperbilirubinemia, and to assess the effect of different demographic and perinatal factors on the rate of TcB increase. METHODS We analyzed 2454 TcB measurements from 419 neonates before the development of significant hyperbilirubinemia. Mean TcB values ...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin in predicting hyperbilirubinemia in term neonates.
OBJECTIVE To assess the utility of 24 and 48 hours transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) index for predicting subsequent significant hyperbilirubinemia in healthy term neonates. METHODS TcB indices were obtained for healthy, breastfed, term AGA newborns at 24 +/- 2, 48 +/- 2 and subsequently at intervals of 24 hours. Neonates with illness, on treatment and positive Direct Coomb's test were excluded....
