Jaundice is a common neonatal problem with a higher incidence in premature infants. Phototherapy is an established treatment modality, effective and safer than exchange transfusion. Double surface phototherapy is more effective. The present methods have drawbacks, viz limited availability, high cost of equipment and difficulties in nursing infants during phototherapy. A modification to the technique which overcomes these difficulties made with equipment available in most neonatal units is described with three case reports of hyperbilirubinaemia successfully treated using this method.
黄疸是一种常见的新生儿问题，在早产儿中发病率更高。光疗是一种既定的治疗方式，比换血疗法更有效且更安全。双面光疗效果更佳。目前的方法存在缺点，即可用性有限、设备成本高以及在光疗期间护理婴儿存在困难。本文描述了一种对该技术的改进方法，它利用大多数新生儿病房现有的设备克服了这些困难，并报告了三例使用该方法成功治疗高胆红素血症的病例。
