Phototherepy Unit

About Phototherepy Unit

In the new born baby i.e birth to one month, Jaundice can pose a serious problem, because high level of the billirubin can permanently damage the brain. The indirect billirubin, which is not water soluble can be decomposed to a harmless metabolic, which is water soluble, does not cross blood brain barrier and is rapidly excreted in the bile and urine and so does not accumulate. This is achieved by exposing the infant to bright light ( approx. 4.5 micro watts/sq.cm/nm) in the range of 420 to 480 nm wave length.
