Transcutaneous bilirubin measurement methods in neonates and its utility for emergency department use
Abstract
Transcutaneous bilirubin measurements correlate with serum bilirubin measurements in neonates. They permit rapid measurements but do not provide fractionation information. Background information of bilirubin measurements is reviewed. The role of transcutaneous bilirubin measurements in the emergency department is reviewed.
