Transcutaneous bilirubin estimation in extremely low birth weight infants receiving phototherapy: a prospective observational study

Abstract Background Measurement of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) is a quick, reliable and painless method to guide management of hyperbilirubinemia. Studies in term and late preterm infants have found that TcB measurements from covered areas (TcB-C) during phototherapy (PHT) co-relate well with ser...
