Does transcutaneous bilirubin monitoring predict unexplained late-onset hemolysis in a very low birthweight infant?
Although TcB levels did not correspond directly with total serum bilirubin levels in VLBW infants, the two values exhibited parallel changes in this case. Therefore, serial TcB monitoring may be useful in the early prediction of unexplained late-onset hemolysis in VLBW infants.
In contrast to PI, TPI and rTPI in US techniques are robust parameters for the evaluation of cerebral perfusion and may help to differentiate physiological and pathological perfusion in different parenchymal regions of the brain.
