EXPERIMENTAL

Super-LED reverse phototherapy

Device: Phototherapy

BILIBERÇO®

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Fluorescent Reverse Phototherapy

Device: Phototherapy

Interventions

Fluorescent reverse phototherapy (7 white lights 5cm below the base of acrylic cot), with spectral irradiance of 8-12microwatts/cm2/nm; daily; until bilirubin reaches level that indicates suspension of therapy

Also known as: Fluorescent Light reverse phototherapy
BILIBERÇO®
