What is the normal value of the percutaneous jaundice tester? In fact, the results are different for each child. It needs to be combined with the child’s gestational age, postnatal age, complications, or high-risk factors, etc. The comprehensive judgment is as follows:
First, if the child’s gestational age is very small, such as a 28-week premature infant, when there is only one day after birth, if the child’s jaundice level exceeds 5mg/dL, it is actually very high and needs to be treated with blue light irradiation. .
Second, if the child is a 35-week premature baby, it means that the gestational age is larger, and it is also one day after birth. If the child has some complications or high-risk factors, such as infection, hemolysis, acid substitution, hypoproteinemia, etc., this At that time, the normal high line of jaundice can reach 8mg/dL, that is, if it exceeds 8mg/dL, it needs to be treated accordingly.
Third, if the child is a full-term infant over 38 weeks, if it has been 7-8 days after birth, and there are no other complications in good health, the measured level of jaundice exceeds 21mg/dL only need special treatment.
It can be seen that for each different child, the difference between the jaundice measurement or the normal high line is very large. It needs to be specific to each child, and comprehensively judge according to the gestational age, postnatal age, and complications, and check the chart to confirm what the normal value is.
