What is Spectrofluorometry?
Spectrofluorometry is the science that analyzes the fluorescence of a sample. This science, is applied by a device called Fluorometer, and is an instrument which measures and studies the properties of chemical compounds, with the purpose of deducing information on luminescent elements.
Treatment of jaundice in infants and neonatal phototherapy incubators
When a baby is born the first thing is to offer immediate care, in the case of a jaundiced newborn it is important to determine if it is a physiological jaundice or a pathological jaundice, when we are facing a mild jaundice almost always disappears without treatment between two or three weeks, but if on the contrary the baby presents a moderate or severe jaundice, our newborn should remain in the neonatology room or be hospitalized.
How does a phototherapy lamp incubator work?
An incubator with phototherapy lamp is a specialized medical team that provides optimal conditions for the care of newborns who are not prepared for extra-uterine life, this type of incubators specializes in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in newborn patients who present jaundice.
Care and maintenance of a phototherapy incubator
Phototherapy incubators are medical equipment designed to manipulate the newborn without removing him from the incubator, allowing other actions involving: isolation, oxygen supply and monitoring of vital functions, as well as applying phototherapy, where light emitted by special lamps is used, to treat neonatal jaundice, and thus reduce the effects of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
Infant heater and infant incubator: what are their differences?
An infant warmer is specialized equipment used to provide newborns with a comfortable warming area that maintains their body temperature at 36 to 37 degrees, thus providing a warm and cozy environment that helps them maintain their body temperature.
Child phototherapy: can it bring complications?
Although infant phototherapy treatment is the recommended solution when newborns present a severe jaundice, which can be caused by various specific situations, this treatment has some effects in patients, so it is essential the supervision of medical personnel, in order to assess and intervene before these possible complications.
Neo-Natal Incubator And Different Types Of Phototherapy
This type of device is intended to offer the full-term or premature newborn a warm and safe environment, where its vital signs can be monitored, to maintain a temperature that keeps it stable; in some cases when the blood of the baby and the mother are different, jaundice occurs in the newborn, needing special attention, through phototherapy, and all KALSTEIN incubators are conditioned for this.
Photo therapy incubators and neonatal jaundice
The phototherapy incubators are medical equipment used to provide a controlled environment to newborns, whether premature or full term, to undergo phototherapy, a therapeutic measure in which light emitted by special lamps is used to treat childhood jaundice, and thus reduce the effects of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.
How is a phototherapy incubator used?
A phototherapy incubator is a specialized medical team that provides optimal conditions for the care of newborns who are not prepared for extrauterine life, and who suffer neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, clinical picture that leads to a condition known neonatal jaundice. This type of incubators have units of phototherapies, equipment composed by specialized lamps that allow to apply light therapy to treat hyperbilirubinemia, in addition to provide life support, isolate and provide heat to newborns.
Ultrasound scan: characteristics and types
An ultrasound scanner is a medical device that allows images of most soft tissues to be obtained using ultrasonic waves. This instrument allows obtaining diagnostic images from echoes obtained by the emission of ultrasound waves (the most common).
