Management of Indirect Hyperbilirubinemia; Comparison of Complications of Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Fluorescent Phototherapy

Objective: To compare the frequency of complications (hyperthermia, skin eruption, dehydration) LED phototherapy and fluorescent in management indirect hyperbilirubinemia neonates Material methods: This randomized control study was carried out from 1st June 2015 to 31 December 2016 at NNU The Children`s Hospital Lahore using Non probability consecutive sampling technique after getting informed consent parents. All basic demographic information each variable (name, age) noted entered on Performa. SPSS-18 used interpret data. Results: In our mean age 1.98±0.83 days. Skin rash complication observed 43(13%) cases, dehydration found 48(14.5%) cases hyperthermia 65(19.70%) patients. Practical Implication: Many setups Pakistan are still conventional machines. has lesser side effects as compared one so by light source we can lessen adverse that will be beneficial babies Conclusion: is effective for with significantly rate neonates. this showed fewer cases.
