Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare the effectiveness and efficiency for precaution of severe hyperbilirubinemia in neonate by different follow-up methods of neonatal jaundice. There are two kinds of follow-up methods in the investigators clinical practice. The one is internet plus follow-up model, the other is conventional clinic follow-up method. Parents of the participant neonates can choose one by themselves. After parents of the participant signed informed consent, the investigators recorded several information including severe hyperbilirubinemia, length of phototherapy, follow-up times, et al. Then the investigators analysed these data in order to know what kind of follow-up method is better to prevent severe hyperbilirubinemia and more easy to be accepted.
The aim of the research was to define the role of MRS and ABR as early predictors of bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction (BIND) in full-term neonates who required intervention (phototherapy or exchange transfusion).
The goal of this retrospective observational study is to [learn about the correlation between hyperbilirubinemia and retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants. The main question it aims to answer are: • To evaluate the possible effect of neonatal jaundice linked to the presumed protective antioxidant action of bilirubin on the development of ROP, compared to a control group which, although presenting ROP, did not develop jaundice.
Purpose: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of repositioning frequency during phototherapy on bilirubin level and neonates comfort. Design and methods: This was a single-centered, single-blind, 3-arm, pretest-posttest parallel-group randomized controlled trial conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Supine position group (n = 20), hourly position change group (n = 20), and control group (n = 20). The bilirubin level and comfort levels of the neonates were evaluated.
In this prospective multi-center randomized clinical trial, a new follow-up strategy for neonatal jaundice after discharge will be evaluated. It is based on current risk factors of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, added with the rate of bilirubin production (exhaled carbon monoxide measurement) as a new indicator,and incorporated with Internet Plus technology. Traditional methods following the Chinese guideline for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were applied in the control group. The morbidity of BIND, the number of outpatient follow-up after discharge and the convenience will be compared between the two groups. The accuracy, effectiveness, safety and convenience of the study strategy will be testified.
Background: It has been reported in the current literature that massage has various positive physiological effects on the newborn. Also baby massage; It increases the collection and excretion of waste products such as bilirubin by accelerating the flow of blood, lymph and tissue fluids. Our aim is to investigate the effect of infant massage on hyperbilirubinemia in newborns receiving phototherapy. Method: The population of the study consisted of babies who were hospitalized in Istanbul Haseki Training and Research Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between October 2021 and January 2022 and needed phototherapy. Transcutaneous bilirubin device and data collection form were used to obtain the data. 61 newborns who met the study criteria were randomly divided into experimental (n=30) and control (n=31) groups. Phototherapy was applied to all babies twice a day. In addition to phototherapy, infant massage was applied to the experimental group for 10 minutes just before the phototherapy. Bilirubin level measurements were made 2 hours after the end of phototherapy for both groups. Diaper changes for both groups were carried out 8 times a day, every 3 hours.
Objective: To investigate the effect of FCR as part of the FICare principles during hospital stay, on parental stress at discharge in parents of preterm or ill infants admitted to the neonatal ward for >7 days as compared to standard medical rounds (SMR) without parents as part of standard neonatal care (SNC).
The proposed study will incorporate an intervention previously un-studied in the US healthcare setting for prevention of hyperbilirubinemia
This study aimed to investigate the effect of bundling gentle body massage along with regular position change on bilirubin level and clinical outcomes among full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia under phototherapy. Hypothesis Full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia who receive gentle body massage along with regular position change exhibit less bilirubin level and better clinical outcomes than those who don't.
Phototherapy is the most frequently used treatment in neonatology when serum bilirubin levels exceed physiological limits. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are become routinely used for phototherapy in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. Blue LED light with peak emission around 460 nm is regarded as the most suitable light sources for phototherapy and they recommended by most neonatal guidelines. However, the effectiveness of phototherapy with narrow-band LED light sources can be increased by expanding the spectral range of incident radiation within the absorption of bilirubin due to the strongly marked heterogeneity absorption properties of bilirubin in a different microenvironment. Longer wavelength light, such as green light, is expected to penetrate the infant's skin deeper. It is still controversial whether the use of green light has any advantage over blue light. The most effective and safest light source and the optimal method to evaluate phototherapy, however, remain unknown.The aim of this study was to compare, at equal light irradiance, the clinical efficacy of broad spectrum blue- green LED with blue narrow spectral band phototherapy device.
