Official Title: Intensive Phototherapy, Double vs. Single, in Treatment of Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia Using LED
Brief Summary: Intensive phototherapy in form of double light is used worldwide in the treatment of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. It has been debated if there is an upper limit on the efficiency of phototherapy. This study investigates whether double phototherapy reduces total serum bilirubin faster than single light during intensive phototherapy, using light emitting diodes, and whether there is an upper limit for the efficacy of phototherapy.
