Breast milk jaundice occurs later in the newborn period, with the bilirubin level usually peaking in the sixth to 14th days of life. This late-onset jaundice may develop in up to one third of healthy breastfed infants. 1 Total serum bilirubin levels vary from 12 to 20 mg per dL (340 Î¼ mol per L) and are nonpathologic., 3, 10 In the term newborn with hemolysis, a bilirubin level above 20 mg per dL (342 Î¼ mol per L) is a concern. 1, 3. The effects of bilirubin toxicity are often devastating and irreversible (Table 2) . 3, 9 Early signs of kernicterus are subtle and nonspecific, typically appearing three to four days after birth.
Effective treatments to decrease bilirubin levels in infants with severe jaundice include phototherapy and exchange transfusion. The effect of light on jaundice in neonates, and the ability of light to decrease serum bilirubin levels, was first described by Cremer et al in 1958.This observation led to the development of light sources for use in the treatment of infants with hyperbilirubinemia, a treatment now referred to as phototherapy.hus, in a 1-kg infant, phototherapy is started at a bilirubin level of 5 mg/dL; in a 2-kg infant, phototherapy is started at a bilirubin level of 10mg/dL and so on. This article discusses the clinical procedure for providing phototherapy for neonatal jaundice.
