Bilitool (www.bilitool.org) is a web site that provides a free, user-friendly, interactive way to match infant bilirubin levels with the Bhutani nomogram and established phototherapy guidelines (for infants ≥35 weeks)
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. Adds when to check for rebound after stopping phototherapy.
Neonatal jaundice. Treatment threshold graphs. NICE clinical guideline 98. Developed by the National Collaborating Centre for Women’s and Children’s Health. These treatment threshold graphs accompany the clinical guideline: ‘Neonatal jaundice’. They are also available as an implementation tool.
6 lis 2019 · Neonatal jaundice is a clinical manifestation of elevated total serum bilirubin, 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.
Objectives. Understand common causes of jaundice. Identify babies at risk of jaundice (hyperbilirubinaemia) Understand investigations required and management of jaundice. Identify complications of conjugated and unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. Consider discharge planning strategies. Abbreviations. Incidence.
Neonatal Algorithm for Bilirubinometer use Transcutaneous Bilirubin Measurement (TcB) Measures bilirubin of subcutaneous tissue and closely correlates with serum bilirubin.
The management of neonatal jaundice includes the assessment of bilirubin laboratory values, consideration of patient-specific risk factors, and plotting on a bilirubin nomogram reference to determine risk and guide therapy. When performed manually, the process can be time consuming and error-prone.
