Transcutaneous 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 کاملNormal ranges of T4 screening values in low birthweight infants.
Thyroxine (T4) screening values in infants of low birthweight in relation to birthweight and gestational age are reported. There were 86 healthy infants of low birthweight (group 1), and 29 preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (group 2). All the group 2 infants and 36% of those in group 1 had a T4 screening value below the cut-off point (-2.1 SD). In group 1 there was a significan...

nitric oxide (no) is a small molecule synthesized by most of mammalian cells with diverse biological activities including vasodilatation, host defense and wound healing. impaired wound healing is a common occurrence among diabetics and patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. on the other hand the application of laser in biomedical area have been increased. thus, the current studies were desi...
15 صفحه اولEvaluation 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 کاملScreening for Hyperbilirubinemia in Japanese Very Low Birthweight Infants Using Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry.
OBJECTIVES To assess the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements at 5 different body sites in Japanese very low birthweight (VLBW) infants and to determine a cut-off value of TcB to detect total serum/plasma bilirubin (TB) levels ≥10 mg/dL (171 μM). STUDY DESIGN In a prospective multicenter study, 85 Japanese VLBW infants were enrolled from 5 neonatal intensive care units duri...
