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.
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.
NOMOGRAM: JAUNDICE MANAGEMENT FOR BABY GREATER THAN 38 WEEKS GESTATION v2.00 - 05/2022 SW1106 1. In the presence of risk factors (sepsis, haemolysis, acidosis or asphyxia) use the lower line. 2. If baby is greater than 12 hours old with total serum bilirubin (TSB) 1–50 micromol/L below the line, repeat the TSB within 6–24 hours. 3.

Neonatal Algorithm for Bilirubinometer use. Transcutaneous Bilirubin Measurement (TcB) Measures bilirubin of subcutaneous tissue and closely correlates with serum bilirubin. Measurement site: Sternum or forehead. Clinically Jaundiced. Do Not Use TCB. *Previous/current Phototherapy use <35 weeks <24 hours. > days. Please do SBR.
One of the most common conditions requiring medical attention in newborn babies. Occurs in approximately 60% of term and 80% of preterm babies in the first week of life. 3.6% of all babies born in Queensland (2020) had phototherapy.
In this report, we present an hour-specific bilirubin nomogram based on first predischarge serum bilirubin of 397 395 newborn infants, including analysis of the effect of sex, gestational age, and race.
