Neonatal jaundice is the yellow discoloration of skin and mucous membranes due to high bilirubin levels in newborns. It is common, occurring in 30-50% of term and 80% of preterm infants. Jaundice can be physiological or pathological. Physiological jaundice is mild and resolves on its own, while pathological jaundice requires treatment. Treatment may include phototherapy, phenobarbital, exchange transfusion or metalloporphyrins depending on bilirubin levels. The goal of treatment is to prevent kernicterus, a toxic brain condition caused by high bilirubin levels.

Management of child with neonatal jaundiceNEHA MALIK
Newborn jaundice is a yellowing of a baby's skin and eyes. Newborn jaundice is very common and can occur when babies have a high level of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during normal breakdown of red blood cells.

Neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia) by Rajiv MavachiRajiv Mavachi
Jaundice is the most common condition that requires medical attention in newborns. The yellow coloration of the skin and sclera in newborns with jaundice is the result of accumulation of unconjugated bilirubin.

This slide contains neonatal jaundice by including real case senario and nursing management through by passing definition, pathophysiology and diagnosis modality
It is characterized by a yellow appearance of the (1) Skin (2) Mucous membranes and (3) Sclera caused by bilirubin deposition. It is the most specific clinical manifestation of Hepatic dysfunction.
Jaundice is usually present clinically when the plasma bilirubin concentration reaches 2 to 3 mg/dl.
When bilirubin clearance from the Liver to the Intestinal tract is impaired (as in acute hepatitis and bile duct obstruction) it may be accompanied by alcoholic (Gray coloured) stools.Solubility increases in water , soluble conjugated bilirubin leads to Tea coloured urine.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

• Should be differentiated from Hemolytic jaundice, hypothyroidism,
G6PD def
• T/t: Some babies may require PT
Continue breast feeding
Usually declines over a period of time
23.
24. Hemolytic disease of newborn
This condition occurs
when there is an
incompatibility between
the blood types of the
mother and baby.
26. The blood types(A, B, O, AB)
• Although it is not as common (especially in a first pregnancy), a
similar problem of incompatibility may happen between the blood
types (A, B, O, AB) of the mother and baby in the following situations:
29. Kernictrus (Bilirubin Encephalopathy)
• Lipid-soluble, unconjugated, bilirubin fraction is toxic to the
developing central nervous system
• indirect bilirubin is deposited in brain cells and disrupts neuronal
metabolism and function, especially in the basal ganglia.
• Indirect bilirubin may cross the blood-brain barrier because of its lipid
solubility.
• disruption of the BBB permits entry of a bilirubin-albumin or free
bilirubin–fatty acid complex.
30. Risk factors
• in term infants when bilirubin levels 20 to 25 mg/dL, but the
incidence increases as serum bilirubin levels exceed 25 mg/dL
• Less than 20 mg/dl in presence of sepsis, meningitis, hemolysis,
asphyxia, hypoxia, hypothermia, hypoglycemia, bilirubin-displacing
drugs (sulfa drugs), and prematurity.
• hemolysis, jaundice noted within 24 hours of birth
• delayed diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia.
• Kernicterus has developed in extremely immature infants weighing
less than 1000 g when bilirubin levels are less than 10 mg/dL because
of a more permeable blood-brain barrier associated with prematurity.
31. • The earliest clinical manifestations of kernicterus are
• lethargy,
• hypotonia,
• irritability,
• poor Moro response,
• and poor feeding.
• A high-pitched cry and emesis also may be present.
• Early signs are noted after day 4 of life.
• Later signs include bulging fontanelle, opisthotonic posturing, pulmonary
hemorrhage, fever, hypertonicity, paralysis of upward gaze, and seizures.
32. Outcome :
• Infants with severe cases of kernicterus die in the neonatal period.
• Spasticity resolves in surviving infants, who may manifest later nerve
deafness,
• choreoathetoid cerebral palsy,
• mental retardation,
• enamel dysplasia, and discoloration of teeth as permanent sequelae.
33. Prevention:
• avoiding excessively high indirect bilirubin levels and by avoiding
conditions or drugs that may displace bilirubin from albumin.
• Early signs of kernicterus occasionally may be reversed by
immediately instituting an exchange transfusion
37. 6-8 daylight tubes are mounted on a stand and
all electrical outlets are well grounded.
At 425- to 475-nm wavelength band
Technique
37
38. Baby is placed naked 45 cm away from the tube lights in a
crib or incubator.
Eyes are covered with eye-patches to prevent damage to
the retina by the bright lights; gonads should also be
covered.
Phototherapy is switched on.
38
39. Baby is turned every two hours or after each feed.
Temperature is monitored every two to four hours.
Weight is taken at least once a day.
More frequent breastfeeding.
Urine frequency is monitored daily.
Serum bilirubin is monitored at least every 12 hours.
Phototherapy is discontinued if two serum bilirubin
values are < 10 mg/dl.
39
41. Side effects of phototherapy
41
•Increased insensible water loss: Frequent Breast feeding.
•Loose green stools: weigh often and compensate with
breast milk.
•Skin rashes: Harmless, no need to discontinue
phototherapy.
•Bronze baby syndrome: occurs if baby has conjugated
hyperbilirubinemia. If so, discontinue phototherapy.
•Hypo or hyperthermia: monitor temperature frequently.
46. Indications:
Rise of bilirubin >1mg/dl/hour
To improve anemia & CCF
Sr. Bilirubin > 20mg/dl in first 24 hrs
Cord hemoglobin is < 12mg/dl & bilirubin is > 5mg/dl
46
47. The procedure involves the incremental removal of the
patient's blood and simultaneous replacement with
fresh donor blood, saline or plasma.
47
48. • The patient’s blood is slowly drawn out
• And an equal amount of fresh, prewarmed blood,
plasma or physiologic saline is transfused.
• The cycle is repeated until a predetermined volume of
blood has been replaced.
48
49. Risk and Complications
• Cardiac and respiratory disturbances
• Shock due to bleeding or inadequate replacement of
blood
• Infection
• Clot formation
• Rare but severe complications include: air embolism,
portal hypertension and necrotizing enterocolitis
