Phototherapy for hyperbilirubinaemia in low birthweight infants.
Elliott, E., Moncrieff, M. W., and George, W. H. S. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 60. Phototherapy for hyperbilirubinaemia in low birthweight infants. Eighty-eight babies whose birthweights were between 1500 g and 2500 g, and whose serum bilirubin reached 10 mg/100 ml, were entered into a controlled trial of phototherapy. Alternate babies were treated with 4000 to 5000 lux, and ...
متن کاملPhototherapy for hyperbilirubinaemia in very low birthweight infants.
Phototherapy was used to treat 20 newborn babies whose birthweight was below 1500 g and whose plasma bilirubin exceeded 8 mg/100 ml. The plasma bilirubin level was maintained below 13 mg/100 ml except in 4 babies whose level exceeded 13 mg/100 ml before treatment was started. In 60% of an untreated group of larger babies previously reported the plasma bilirubin level exceeded this figure. Photo...
متن کاملPhototherapy and the use of heat shields in very low birthweight infants.
The irradiance produced by phototherapy units in use on a neonatal unit was measured. The phototherapy tubes were found to decline at a variable rate. Heat shields used to decrease heat and evaporative losses in the very low birthweight infant reduce irradiance and may appreciably limit the effectiveness of phototherapy.
متن کاملVery-Low-Birthweight Infants at
To determine whether history of chronic lung disease (CLD) in children born at very low birthweight (VLBW) confers additional risk for impaired health, growth, and neurodevelopment, 17 VLBW children born in 1984 who had CLD (requiring supplemental oxygen more than 30 days after birth) in infancy and 28 VLBW children who did not have CLD were assessed at age 7 years. Assessments included a medic...
متن کاملBlood counts in extremely low birthweight infants.
White blood, neutrophil, and platelet counts were higher in 101 infants with appropriate weight for gestational age than in 42 infants who were small for gestational age. The recognised postnatal rise in counts was seen in the infants of appropriate weight, but in the infants who were small for gestational age the counts fell for the first three days.
