Intensive phototherapy as the initial management of severe hyperbilirubinemia in neonates: A literature review
Abstract Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common clinical phenomena found in newborns, which is about 60% of term infants and 80% of preterm infants in the first week of life. Severe hyperbilirubinemia can cause encephalopathy and permanent neurodevelopmental damage with an incidence that vari...

| Summary: | Abstract
Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common clinical phenomena found in newborns, which is about 60% of term infants and 80% of preterm infants in the first week of life. Severe hyperbilirubinemia can cause encephalopathy and permanent neurodevelopmental damage with an incidence that varies between 4% - 60.3% and mortality rate of 13% to 56.8% worldwide. Phototherapy and exchange transfusion are therapeutic modalities for infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia. Intensive phototherapy has fewer side effects and can reduce the need for exchange transfusion. This treatment is rarely needed if intensive phototherapy is effective, current guidelines for the management of hyperbilirubinemia focus on the use of intensive phototherapy as initial treatment. This literature review aims to discuss intensive phototherapy as the initial management of severe hyperbilirubinemia in neonates. |
