About this document
Transcutaneous Bilirubinometry Guide by animesh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the use of transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) as a non-invasive method for assessing jaundice in newborns, particularly those ≥35 weeks gestation. TcB offers advantages over total serum bilirubin (TSB) measurements, including instant results without painful blood draws, but has limitations such as decreased accuracy at higher bilirubin levels and a lack of validated nomograms for interpretation. The document emphasizes the importance of following guidelines for jaundice management
