Transcutaneous bilirubinometry. II: dermal bilirubin kinetics during phototherapy
1983
Summary: We examined the effect of phototherapy on cutaneous bilirubin using the transcutaneous bilirubinometer (TcB) in 14 white infants at a mean postnatal age of 30 h. Six infants were treated with blue light, eight with white light. An opaque patch, 2.5 cm in diameter, covered the skin and served as a source for TcB control values. Simultaneous TcB measurements were obtained from exposed and patched areas every 15 min during 4 h of phototherapy.
