Phototherapy for Jaundice:
Phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for newborn jaundice, a common condition caused by elevated bilirubin levels in the blood. Our NICU is equipped with state-of-the-art phototherapy units and specialized lighting equipment to provide targeted light therapy to newborns with jaundice.
How Phototherapy Works:
During phototherapy, newborns are placed under special blue lights that emit specific wavelengths of light. These lights help to break down excess bilirubin in the baby’s skin, making it easier for the body to eliminate the bilirubin through urine and stool. Phototherapy is non-invasive and painless, and babies can continue to receive care and feedings during treatment.
