Dr. G. Nagaraju* and V. Sirisha

ABSTRACT

The study of phototherapy should be demonstrated in order to provide the better patient compliance for the children and neonates to minimize the side effects. According to our survey no side effects have been reported. We have gone through many hospitals and meet the pediatricians to investigate the effects of phototherapy in addition we came to known that phototherapy is given based on the total serum bilirubin levels. Phototherapy is given in two ways i.e., single surface phototherapy and double surface phototherapy. Here two types of bilirubin count to be taken firstly total serum bilirubin level and direct bilirubin level. Normally the serum bilirubin level are high from day of birth 3 to 5 days and eventually the serum levels get dropped by well breast feeding and exposure to sunlight. Now a days breast feeding and exposure to sunlight are the most commonly preferred than phototherapy treatment. About 30% of the 11 to 15 days neonates are rendered to jaundice and no one can don’t show the prominent change in the weight of neonates. 95% of the cesarian and only 5% of the normal delivery have been reported.
