Infrared irradiance from phototherapy units and the effect on osmolality of serum and urine in term infants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The osmolality of urine increased in 10 term infants receiving phototherapy. Phototherapy units made locally were likely to emit more infrared radiation than a unit available commercially, but both types led to falsely increased incubator thermometer readings. Interposing a 6-mm acrylic sheet prevents these effects.

متن کاملEffect of Phototherapy on Serum Level of Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D in Infants with Hyperbilirubinemia
Background and Objective: Phototherapy is one of the therapy methods for jaundice caused by hyperbilirubinemia. Vitamin D and bilirubin have two distinct routes of metabolism yet part of their syntheses is common in the liver and thus they may influence each other’s synthesis. One of the consequences of phototherapy not previously studied in detail is hypocalcaemia and hypomagn...

Background: Jaundice is a physiological phenomenon and common disorder in the neonatal period. Jaundice occurs in the first month of life in 60% of term and 80% of preterm neonates, leading to hospitalization. The present study aimed to determine the effect of oral zinc sulfate on serum bilirubin levels in the neonates undergoing phototherapy. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conduc...
متن کاملIntermittent versus continuous phototherapy for the treatment of non-hemolytic moderate hyperbilirubinemia in term infants: a randomized controlled trial
Background: Phototherapy is the most effective treatment for neonatal jaundice and intermittent phototherapy is as effective as continuous phototherapy but with fewer complications and more benefits. This study compared the hospital length of stay, duration of phototherapy and the reducing rate of total serum bilirubin after 24 and 36 hours of phototherapy in two groups. Methods: The current d...
