Phototherapy lamps – equipment for neonatology unit

Phototherapy is a popular and widely used method for hyperbilirubin treatment in infants. The use of special radiation has a beneficial effect on the skin color of newborn babies, minimizing skin yellowish pigmentation. The application of special equipment, namely of phototherapy lamps, enables jaundice treatment by reducing bilirubin level.

Equipment for phototherapy

In case of jaundice diagnosis doctors prescribe to the newborn babies phototherapy sessions. The procedure is carried out with the help of special phototherapy equipment.
Such devices reduce significantly the number of blood transfusions. The phototherapy sessions are appointed taking into account the weight, the age of the baby and the level of unconjugated bilirubin. As a rule, the stabilization of the situation is observed already on the first day after the start of phototherapy.
Infants are cured by special photo radiation in incubators for newborn babies or in infant warmer systems. During the session, safety goggles are put on a baby and the reproductive organs are covered. To prevent overheating, body temperature must be carefully and continuously monitored every three hours. A baby should be also regularly weighed because the phototherapy can cause fluid loss.
Phototherapy equipment should be used in intensive care units in hospitals and maternity hospitals. This equipment makes it possible to shorten the duration of jaundice treatment, to avoid negative consequences and side effects from elevated bilirubin level.

Phototherapy equipment choice features

The principle of operation of these devices is based on light emission, which resembles the sun rays. Under light emission bilirubin loses toxicity, turning into a water-soluble isomer, which is excreted from the body together with feces and urine.
To ensure a proper care for newborn babies one should choose a lamp with the required radiation range. According to this parameter lamps are divided into:

  • fluorescent;
  • halogen;
  • LED lamps.

Considering spectral radiation power lamps can be divided into such groups:

  • with white light;
  • with green light;
  • with blue light (uvb).

Phototherapy lamps with blue light are considered to be the most effective in medicine. They are useful not only in the case of jaundice, but also in the case of other forms of hyperbilirubin, including conjugated. Analogs with green light are also effective. They are characterized by a deeper rays penetration.
For maximum effect pediatricians recommend combined phototherapy which implies the use of fluorescent, halogen, and LED lamps.
