Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry in Jaundiced Neonates: A Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND: For evaluation of jaundiced neonates, serum bilirubin (SB) or transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) is used. Few data are available on the quantitative reduction of blood sampling by using TcB. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled trial in hospitalized jaundiced neonates ≥32 weeks’ gestational age. In the intervention group, TcB was used and in the control group the decision...

متن کاملTranscutaneous Bilirubinometry in Preterm and Term Newborn Infants before and during Phototherapy.
INTRODUCTION To evaluate the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin measurement in a large population of newborn infants, before and during the phototherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A single Bilicheck instrument was used for transcutaneous measurements. A photo-opaque patch was positioned over the measurement site prior to starting phototherapy. Transcutaneous bilirubinometry was conducted on an u...
متن کاملHyperbilirubinemia and transcutaneous bilirubinometry.
BACKGROUND Neonatal jaundice or hyperbilirubinemia is a common occurrence in newborns. Although most cases of neonatal jaundice have a benign course, severe hyperbilirubinemia can lead to kernicterus, which is preventable if the hyperbilirubinemia is identified early and treated appropriately. CONTENT This review discusses neonatal jaundice and the use of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measur...
متن کاملCan transcutaneous bilirubinometry reduce the need for blood tests in jaundiced full term babies?
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) may provide a useful method for screening for significant jaundice, thereby reducing unnecessary blood tests. These studies have not allowed an estimation of the magnitude of such a benefit. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of TcB as a method of determining the need for serum bilirubin (SBR) measurements i...
