What Are These Services?

📌 Phototherapy

Phototherapy is a light-based treatment used to lower high bilirubin levels in newborns — the substance that causes jaundice. Under special lights, the baby’s skin absorbs the light, helping the body break down and remove excess bilirubin more quickly and safely than waiting for it to decline on its own. Doctors monitor bilirubin levels and the baby’s overall condition throughout the treatment.

📌 Exchange Transfusion

Exchange transfusion is a more intensive procedure used when jaundice is severe and not responding to phototherapy alone. In this process, a portion of the baby’s blood is carefully replaced with donor blood to rapidly reduce dangerously high bilirubin levels and prevent the risk of complications such as kernicterus (a form of brain damage). While not all NICUs perform this routinely, it is a recognized neonatal intervention when needed. (General neonatal practice).
