  • Title: Comparative measurements of phototherapy: a practical guide.
    Author: Hammerman C, Eidelman AI, Lee KS, Gartner LM.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1981 Mar; 67(3):368-72. PubMed ID: 7243474.
    Abstract:
    Increasing the dose of administered phototherapy has been shown to increase the rate of bilirubin decrement up to a saturation point beyond which no further increases in bilirubin degradation are observed. This study provides irradiance measurements which can be used to interpret phototherapy dose-response and saturation data clinically and to determine an optimal phototherapy lamp combination for maximal bilirubin degradation.
