Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study is to define the effect of radiation hours on the physiologic jaundice infants. Since there in no full explanation of the way of phototherapy.
Data was collected from February, 1993 through August, 1993at E University Hospital. The subjects consisting of 179 normal newborn who is to receive phototherapy due to bilirubinemia in the early postnatal period. Six groups compared the
effectiveness
of phototherapy based on hours of radiation ; 6hrs, 9hrs, 12hrs, 15hrs, 18hrs, 21hrs.
@ES The results were as follows :
1) Effectiveness of phototherapy which means serum total bilirubin decrements were significantly different in groups (F=9.812 P=.000).
And follow up study was showed the subset in less than 15hrs groups and more than 15hrs groups.
2) There was no significant difference on the effect of phototherapy between aged after birth.
3) An hours of radiation and the number of stools was not revealed the relationship.
The results obtained from this study suggest that 15hrs radiation per day is effective in phototherpy.
In the furture, more replication of this stud will be contribute for neonatal nursing care.
