Transcutaneous bilirubinometry in preterm infants receiving phototherapy.
The accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements obtained with a Bilicheck device in 70 preterm neonates before phototherapy and during phototherapy from the exposed and unexposed skin of the forehead (under the eye patch) was evaluated by comparing the TcB with the total serum bilirubin (TSB) that was performed within +/- 30 minutes of the TcB measurements. The correlation and propo...

متن کاملNon-invasive bilirubinometry in neonatal jaundice.
This chapter will focus on techniques that have been developed to measure transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB). The first electronic TcB device proved to be useful when used as a screening method for identifying newborns who needed a serum bilirubin determination. Newer TcB devices can be used not only as screening tools but also as reliable substitutes for serum bilirubin measurements. The Chromatic...
متن کاملMirror covered tunnel phototherapy increases the efficacy of phototherapy for neonatal jaundice
Objective: Neonatal jaundice (NJ) is one of the most common cause of neonatal hospital admission. Phototherapy is the main therapy for hyperbilirubinemia of neonatal jaundice. The efficacy of phototherapy depends on the dose and wavelength of light used and the surface area exposed. We increased photons in mirror covered tunnel phototherapy (MCTP) by putting mirrors behind...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
