NON-INVASIVE JAUNDICE SCREENING – A FAST, PAIN-FREE SOLUTION FOR NEWBORNS

Neonatal jaundice is a common condition, affecting approximately 60–80% of newborns. In most cases, it is physiological and resolves on its own. However, without proper monitoring, it can progress and potentially impact a baby’s health.

According to La Thị Ngọc Ngà – Head of Pediatrics at Thai Nguyen International Hospital, early detection and close monitoring play a crucial role in preventing serious complications.

Warning signs that require immediate medical attention

Parents should take their baby to a healthcare facility promptly if any of the following signs appear:

• Jaundice occurring within the first 24 hours after birth
• Yellowing spreading rapidly from the face to the chest, abdomen, palms, and soles
• Poor feeding or unusual lethargy
• Weak crying or difficulty waking the baby

These may indicate pathological jaundice and require timely evaluation.

High-risk groups

Some newborns are at higher risk of developing severe jaundice, including:

• Preterm infants
• Babies with poor feeding or insufficient milk intake in the first days
• Blood type incompatibility between mother and baby
• G6PD deficiency (leading to fragile red blood cells)
• Polycythemia or significant bruising after birth

Modern solution: Non-invasive bilirubin measurement

At the Department of Pediatrics – Thai Nguyen International Hospital, transcutaneous bilirubin measurement is now available, offering significant advantages:

• Non-invasive, completely pain-free for the baby
• Quick procedure with results available within seconds
• Accurate assessment of jaundice levels

This advanced method helps reduce stress for both parents and infants while ensuring safe and effective monitoring.

Why early screening is important

Elevated bilirubin levels, if not detected in time, can affect the baby’s nervous system. Therefore:

• All newborns should be screened for jaundice
• Regular follow-up after discharge is essential, as advised by doctors

Early and proactive screening helps detect pathological jaundice and minimize the risk of complications.
