Body Temperature Changes of Newborns Under Fluorescent Versus LED Phototherapy: Correspondence

Abstract: Aydemir et al. [1] that compared the body temperature (BT) changes of newborns under conventional phototherapy with fluorescent lamps and light emitting diodes (LED) phototherapy at different irradiances. The authors suggest that LED phototherapy of ≥ 60 μW/cm 2 /nm intensity significantly increases BT in hyperbilirubinemic newborns. Furthermore, they reported that all patients receiving LED phototherapy at high intensity had at least one BT measurement of ≥ 37.5°C and 77 % had BT of ≥ 38°C. And also, interes… Show more
