Title: [Monitoring of body temperature during fiber optics phototherapy]. Author: Zanini R, Del Prete A, Baronciani D, Morandi F. Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1992; 14(3-6 Suppl):65-6. PubMed ID: 1589341. Abstract: Fiberoptic phototherapy is a new technique for treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia; in comparison with conventional phototherapy this new technique shouldn't increase body temperature during treatment. We have recorded body temperature of 13 term newborns with hyperbilirubinemia during 18 periods of treatment and compared the records with physiologic body temperature in the same babies. No increase over normal value during treatment nor significative difference during and after treatment has been observed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
