Bilirubin phototherapy is a treatment often used in hospitals to alleviate neonatal jaundice in newborn babies. Phototherapy utilizes blue light and although the phototherapy units emit predominantly in this region, emissions from the adjacent ultraviolet region present a possible hazard if the exposure is of sufficient duration. A study of the levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) to which patients and staff involved with phototherapy are subjected was therefore undertaken.
胆红素光疗是医院常用的一种治疗方法,用于缓解新生儿黄疸。光疗利用蓝光,虽然光疗设备主要在该区域发射,但如果暴露时间足够长,相邻紫外线区域的发射可能会造成危害。因此,对接受光疗的患者和工作人员所接触的紫外线辐射(UVR)水平进行了一项研究。
