Phototherapy Induced Hypocalcemia in Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
Background:Jaundice is an important problem in the 1 st week of life affecting approximately 60% of term and 80% of preterm infants. It is commonly managed by phototherapy. Phototherapy may result in the development of hypocalcemia & create serious complications including seizures & other condition. Objective:To study the effect of phototherapy on serum calcium is neonatal hyperbilirubiniea. De...
متن کاملEfficacy of bidirectional fiber-optic phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of fiber-optic phototherapy using the standard Ohmeda Biliblanket, a large version, double standard Biliblankets, and conventional phototherapy using daylight fluorescent lamps in full-term, healthy infants with nonhemolytic hyperbilirubinemia. METHODS Full-term, healthy infants with nonhemolytic hyperbilirubinemia (bilirubin concentration, >255 micromol/L o...
متن کاملEvaluation of phototherapy devices used for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVE To compare phototherapy devices based on their physical and photo-biological characteristics viz spectral properties, maximum and mean irradiance, treatable percentage of body surface area, decay of irradiance over time and in vitro photoisomerisation of bilirubin. DESIGN In vitro experimental study. SETTING Ocular pharmacy laboratory at a tertiary care hospital. METHODLOGY: All t...
متن کاملComparison of triple and double phototherapy in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia
Introduction: Icterus is the most common medical problem in neonates. Phototherapy is standard treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. This study aims to compare efficacy and length of hospitalization of double and triple phototherapy in term newborns with indirect hyperbilirubinemia. Methods: In a randomized clinical trial 40 healthy term newborns (gestational age>37 weeks) with weight≥250...
متن کاملDose-response relationship of phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Using light-emitting diodes during conventional phototherapy, it is possible to reduce the distance from light source to infant, thus increasing light irradiance. The objective of this study was to search for a "saturation point" (ie, an irradiation level above which there is no further decrease in total serum bilirubin [TsB]). This was a prospective randomized study pe...
