Phototherapy is commonly used to treat infants with hyperbilirubinemia. Conventional phototherapy consists of a light source situated approximately 20 inches from an infant who is in an isolette and who is equipped with eye patches. A new method of phototherapy, a fiberoptic blanket, wraps light around the infant's torso delivering continuous phototherapy. The infant can remain in the mother's room in an open crib during treatment without the need for eye patches. We have found this system to have many advantages over conventional phototherapy for hospitalized infants with hyperbilirubinemia.
光疗常用于治疗患有高胆红素血症的婴儿。传统光疗是将光源放置在距离保育箱内婴儿约20英寸处，婴儿需佩戴眼罩。一种新的光疗方法，即光纤毯，能将光线环绕在婴儿躯干周围，提供持续光疗。治疗期间，婴儿可在开放式婴儿床中留在母亲房间，无需佩戴眼罩。我们发现，对于住院的高胆红素血症婴儿，该系统比传统光疗有许多优势。
