Bases follow-up testing on the difference between bilirubin level and the phototherapy threshold. No more risk zones! Raises thresholds for phototherapy and exchange transfusion. Includes gestational age and risk factors for neurotoxicity in the thresholds.
Bhutani Nomogram When using this nomogram, remember that "risk" refers to the risk of a subsequent bilirubin level in that infant >95th percentile for age. AAP 7-04
6 lis 2019 · Neonatal jaundice is a clinical manifestation of elevated total serum bilirubin (TSB), termed neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, which results from bilirubin that is deposited into an infant's skin. The characteristic features of neonatal jaundice include yellowish skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes.
The guidelines include recommendations for evaluation, diagnosis and monitoring of hyperbilirubinemia, as well as indications for administration of phototherapy, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and exchange transfusion. IV.
The new nomogram included 2 orders of magnitude more patient data and generally agreed with the 1999 nomogram. Differences included higher 75th and 90th percentile TSB values after 60 hours, higher values for lower gestational age, lower values for Black babies, and higher values for Asian babies.
1 maj 2021 · The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends stratification of predischarge total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels by using the Bhutani Nomogram to help determine the appropriate timing of newborn follow-up. A separate nomogram is then used to determine if an infant meets criteria for phototherapy.1Kuzniewicz et al2 aim to simplify the ...
