Abstract
It has traditionally been accepted that transcutaneous bilirubinometry is not recommended to be used during phototherapy despite limited research. Here we investigated if transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements could provide an alternative to total serum bilirubin (TSB) measurements in newborns after phototherapy by performing simultaneous TSB and TcB measurements from newborn infants at their 24-hour treatment. TcB measurements were taken from three covered (the glabella, pubis, and gluteus maximus) and one uncovered (the sternum) body sites.
