Action spectrum of phototherapy in hyperbilirubinemic neonates

Phototherapy with blue light matching plasma absorption spectrum of the bilirubin-albumin complex with peak at 460 nm is standard treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.To demonstrate clinically the action (efficacy) spectrum of phototherapy in hyperbilirubinemic neonates, through determination of the fraction of total serum bilirubin (TSB) decreased by phototherapy with peak emission wavelengths ≥478 nm (blue-green) compared with that of...
