“…31 Since then, several studies have shown that these lamps produce a faster and more pronounced decrease in serum bilirubin than white fluorescent light. 32 They emit around 45% more energy in the band between 400 and 490nm than do white fluorescent lamps, and are considered by some investigators as the most effective light source for use in phototherapy.…”

“…Despite the widespread use of phototherapy for the prevention and treatment of neonatal jaundice, debate continues over the most effective light source (2, 6,[15][16][17][18][19]. Thus, several phototherapy units which differ in spectral distribution and intensity have been recommended.…”

“…Em relação à irradiância, para a seleção das diferentes lâmpadas empregadas, são disponíveis as curvas de absorção espectral fornecidas pelos fabricantes, que permitem verificar quais as que emitem energia na faixa que melhor transforma a bilirrubina 8 . A eficácia é avaliada pela medida da irradiância, que, no caso dos aparelhos de fototerapia, pode ser realizada de forma satisfatória através dos radiô-metros/fotômetros 10 para fototerapia, equipamentos relativamente baratos e eficientes, desde que perfeitamente compreendidas suas limitações.…”

“…Nas fototerapias fluorescentes, quatro tipos de lâmpa-das são usadas: as azuis comuns (como a Sylvania F20WT12/ AZ, que podem perder a irradiância rapidamente, podendo necessitar reposições freqüentes 8 ), as do tipo luz do dia, as verdes, e as azuis especiais (Philips F20WT12/52, que costumam manter 80% da irradância inicial até 2.000 a 5.000 horas de uso 20 ). Nosso objetivo será manter a irradiância o mais próximo possível dos valores máximos para que os tratamentos sejam eficientes e rápidos 21 .…”
