Abstract

Jaundice occurs when there is a build-up of a naturally occurring substance called bilirubin after the breakdown of the red blood cells. If the bilirubin levels get too high, it leads to hyper bilirubinemia and long term central nervous system damage. Phototherapy or light therapy (light treatment) is the process of using a blue/white light of varying intensity to eliminate bilirubin in the blood by assisting the liver in regulation. A biliblanket is a special light vest portable phototherapy device for the treatment of neonatal jaundice. This system uses fiber optic blankets and represents advanced technology in phototherapy treatment given in the hospital or at home
