Transcutaneous bilirubin measurement: a multicenter evaluation of a new device.
OBJECTIVES The early discharge of neonates from hospitals makes transcutaneous measurement of total bilirubin concentration a useful tool to monitor neonatal jaundice. The objectives of this study were to determine whether 1) transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement, as performed using BiliCheck (BC), correlates with total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels, measured with standard laboratory method...
متن کاملEvaluation of a spectrophotometric method for measurement of activity of diamine oxidase in newborn infants.
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme synthesized primarily in the gastrointestinal mucosal cells. Serum levels of DAO have been used as an indicator of the integrity and/or functional mass of the intestinal mucosa. The enzyme is also produced by the placenta and is elevated in newborn serum. Previous radiometric methods for DAO used tritiated putrescine or cadaverine as substrate. A simple and ra...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin in the pre-term infants.
OBJECTIVE 1) To evaluate the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (T(C)B) measurement compared to total serum bilirubin level (TSB) in the pre-term infants and 2) To establish cut-off values of T(C)B that indicated need for TSB. MATERIAL AND METHOD Premature infants whose birth weight was more than 1,000 grams and gestational age less than 36 weeks had paired T(C)B-TSB assessment when jaundic...
متن کاملtranscutaneous bilirubin measurement in preterm neonates
hyperbilirubinemia is a common problem during neonatal period especially in preterm neonates. transcutaneous bilirubin measurement (tcb) by special devices had been documented as an effective tool for predicting neonatal jaundice in full term neonate, but for preterm infants the present evidences are controversial. we carried out a prospective study in shariati hospital nicu. 126 paired tcb/tot...
متن کامل[Evaluation of transcutaneous bilirubin measurement and agreement with bilirubinemia].
Evaluation of the neonates for jaundice and kernicterus is indispensable when early hospital discharge has become standard practice. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement is an advantageous option because of its non-invasive nature and the possibility of its use near the patient. The point of care device BiliCheck has been compared in numerous instances to serum bilirubin. However, its cli...
