Effectiveness of Fiberoptic Phototherapy Compared to Conventional Phototherapy in Treating Hyperbilirubinemia Amongst Term Neonates: a Randomized Control Trial
Abstract:AbstractBackground
Neonatal jaundice is one of the most common problems in newborns. Effective treatment of jaundice requires therapeutic intervention with phototherapy (PT). Conventional phototherapy has been used for more than 50 years, but has been linked with adverse outcomes.
