The effectiveness of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia treatment depends directly on the amount of energy emitted by light (irradiance). This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the irradiance of phototherapy equipment in maternity wards in Maceió, AL, Brazil. All equipment in use in the neonatal units in Maceió was included in the study, totaling 36 devices, except those in maintenance. The measurement of irradiance was carried out with a radiometer. We observed that 72.20% of the equipment presented efficient irradiance and 27.76% were inefficient. The conclusion is that the majority of phototherapy devices are emitting the minimum required irradiance for neonatal jaundice treatment.
新生儿高胆红素血症治疗的效果直接取决于光发出的能量（辐照度）。这项横断面研究旨在确定巴西阿拉戈斯州马塞约市产科病房中光疗设备的辐照度。马塞约市新生儿病房中所有正在使用的设备（除正在维修的设备外）均纳入研究，共计36台设备。使用辐射计进行辐照度测量。我们观察到72.20%的设备辐照度有效，27.76%的设备辐照度无效。结论是，大多数光疗设备发出的辐照度达到了新生儿黄疸治疗所需的最低值。
