Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia leading to exchange transfusion
Background :Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to investigate the causes of severe hyperbilirubinemia leading to Exchange Transfusion (ET) from March 2009 to March 2011 in Bahrami children hospital, Tehran, Iran in order to establish guidelines to prevent profound jaundice & ET. Methods : 94 neonates underwent ...
متن کاملTranscutaneous bilirubin nomogram for prediction of significant neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
OBJECTIVE The goal was to develop a predictive nomogram, based on transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements, for assessment of the risk of significant hyperbilirubinemia in healthy term and near-term neonates. METHODS A total of 10382 TcB measurements were performed with 2039 healthy neonates (gestational age of > or =35 weeks and birth weight of > or =2000 g), with a BiliCheck bilirubinome...
متن کاملBilirubin dosage in cord blood: could it predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?
CONTEXT With early discharge, many newborns have to be readmitted to hospital for hyperbilirubinemia to be treated, and this has been held responsible for the reappearance of kernicterus. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether bilirubin levels in cord blood could predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia that would require treatment, in full-term newborns up to their third day of life. TYPE OF STUDY Prosp...

متن کاملPredischarge screening for severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia identifies infants who need phototherapy.
OBJECTIVE To test whether the combined use of total plasma/serum bilirubin (TSB) levels and clinical risk factors more accurately identifies infants who receive phototherapy than does the use of either method alone. STUDY DESIGN We recruited healthy infants of ≥35 weeks' gestation at 6 centers that practiced universal predischarge TSB screening. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured at ...
