  • Title: Blue light, green light, white light, more light: treatment of neonatal jaundice.
    Author: Ennever JF.
    Journal: Clin Perinatol; 1990 Jun; 17(2):467-81. PubMed ID: 2196141.
    Abstract:
    This article reviews the current understanding of how phototherapy, the most widely used treatment of neonatal jaundice, uses light energy to pump bilirubin out of a jaundiced infant. It provides a framework for understanding the often conflicting results of clinical comparisons of various phototherapeutic regimens, and stresses the importance of light intensity in the overall effectiveness of phototherapy.
