Phototherapy at home
They said doing light therapy at home allowed them to connect with their newborns, feel close to them, and hold them closely while receiving the treatment. When parents weren’t having their babies, they often placed them in a cot nearby.
They believed their baby was comfortable undergoing phototherapy. Successfully feeding their infant was seen as an essential aspect of adapting to life with a newborn, and most parents found that providing phototherapy to newborns at home did not complicate the feeding process.
Sometimes doctors will recommend using phototherapy newborn at home instead of using a hospital facility. Now, it’s always beneficial to rent a machine.
Important procedure before starting Phototherapy
- Gently wipe off any noticeable cream or oil residue on the baby’s skin.
- Verify the baby’s temperature.
- For babies undergoing overhead phototherapy, expose as much skin as possible to the light by removing hats and bed coverings.
- Use eye protection goggles designed for this purpose for all babies undergoing overhead phototherapy.
During ongoing phototherapy
Check the baby’s temperature within 1 hour of starting.
Regularly look and document the baby’s temperature at least every 3 hours, adjusting the frequency if necessary.
Keep track of the baby’s fluid balance and promptly report any changes or concerns to the medical team.
Check babies for signs of dehydration:
Check urine volume, and frequency, and conduct urine analysis (bilirubin will be there).
Check stool volume, frequency, and consistency.
Weigh the baby daily.
Clean the skin only with water.
Use an incubator cover or cot canopy to shield babies from phototherapy lights if they are nearby but not undergoing the treatment themselves.
Refer to manufacturers’ guidelines for the safe use of specific types of phototherapies.
Document any alterations in treatment, such as additional sessions or the current plan for allowing the baby out from phototherapy, if applicable.
Keep parents informed about their phototherapy newborn progress.
Support and encourage parents to engage with and care for their baby during phototherapy.
Staff should be aware that as a baby’s bilirubin levels decrease, parents should have more extended and more frequent opportunities for cuddling and kangaroo care, depending on the baby’s condition.
Note that babies undergoing phototherapy often experience very loose and watery stools, requiring more frequent diaper changes.
Phototherapy tech specs & Brands
A neonatal phototherapy unit is a device used to treat or prevent hyperbilirubinemia, a condition of elevated bilirubin levels in newborns. The device typically consists of one or more lamps emitting light in a specific spectral range to help reduce bilirubin concentration when an infant is placed under the light.
General Use
The device emits light within the 400-550 nm range, primarily between 450-470 nm, to reduce bilirubin levels. It is commonly used in newborn stabilization units (SNCUs). Key functional aspects include filtered light from radiant electric sources, secure infant support in a bassinette, and monitoring of light exposure duration.
Technical Characteristics
The phototherapy unit medical equipment uses CFL or LED technology, producing light with peak wavelengths around 450-460 nm. It should deliver a minimum irradiance of 35 μW/cm²/nm at 40 cm, with UV exposure limited to less than 10⁻⁴ W/m². A digital hour meter tracks exposure time, and the unit should have a light field area larger than 700 cm². Lamp lifespan is at least 20,000 hours for LED and 1,000 hours for CFL.
Safety features like over-temperature cut-offs and adjustable head positioning are essential. The device must have castor wheels with brakes, minimal intensity variation, and indicators for normal operation. Power restoration should not alter settings, and the unit should remain stable on inclined surfaces.
Additional Features
The temperature of accessible surfaces should not exceed safe limits (40°C for the baby bed, 43°C for other surfaces). There should be indicators for optimal treatment distance. The unit should be adjustable for different bed heights (1.0 to 1.6m) and suitable for use with various neonatal equipment like warmers and incubators.
Power and Protection
The unit operates on 220-240V, 50Hz with a tolerance of ±10% for input variation. It includes resettable overcurrent breakers or fuses for protection. Power consumption should not exceed 160W, with a mains cable length of at least 2.5 meters.
Accessories and Consumables
The device requires replacement tubes for continuous operation over three months and extra fuses if needed. It also includes 500 infant eye masks in different sizes. No other major spare parts are required.
Environmental Considerations
The phototherapy unit should work in ambient temperatures of 10-40°C and relative humidity of 15-90%. It must be easy to clean and sterilize using alcohol or chlorine-based disinfectants.
