  • Title: Clinical application of phototherapy in neonatal jaundice.
    Author: Hodgman JE.
    Journal: Birth Defects Orig Artic Ser; 1976; 12(2):3-10. PubMed ID: 953187.
    Abstract:
    Phototherapy is effective in preventing jaundice in the LBW infant. Using the schedule of lights on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours, continuous phototherapy was more effective than intermittent phototherapy. Metabolic requirements of the infant during phototherapy appear to increase. Whether these can be offset by appropriate therapy requires further study. No deleterious long-term effects of phototherapy were found on 2-year follow-up.
