Comparing transcutaneous bilirubin versus serum bilirubin measurement using spectrophotometry for jaundice screening of full-term neonates
Background: Neonatal jaundice is an almost common problem among neonates that may cause complications such as kernicterus in severe cases. Since early diagnosis and proper treatment of neonatal jaundice is vital to prevent the related complications, it is necessary to check bilirubin before discharging the neonates. There are several evaluating and diagnostic methods to measure the level of bil...
متن کاملComparison of transcutaneous and total serum bilirubin measurement in Turkish newborns.
Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia can be prevented by screening for neonatal jaundice. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement is a noninvasive method for screening neonates. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between TcB measurement (using the JM-103 bilirubinometer) and total serum bilirubin (TSB) measurement. To our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the usef...
متن کاملComparison of Transcutaneous Bilirubin Measurement With Total Serum Bilirubin Levels in Preterm Neonates Receiving Phototherapy.
OBJECTIVE To compare transcutaneous bilirubin with total serum bilirubin in preterm neonates after initiation of phototherapy. METHODS Jaundice was assessed in 30 preterm neonates with transcutaneous bilirubin and total serum bilirubin before initiation of phototherapy and at 12 hr after initiation of phototherapy. A photo-occlusive patch was applied over the sternum. RESULTS Transcutaneous...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin measurement in healthy Saudi term newborns
I read with interest the study by Alsaedi1 on the transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement in healthy Saudi term newborns. The author addressed that TcB measurement provided accurate estimates of total serum bilirubin (TSB) values and it can be used effectively to screen newborns for significant jaundice.1 I presume that such conclusion ought to be cautiously taken. Apart from 4 limitations a...
