Abstract
Increasing the dose of administered phototherapy has been shown to increase the rate of bilirubin decrement up to a saturation point beyond which no further increases in bilirubin degradation are observed. This study provides irradiance measurements which can be used to interpret phototherapy dose-response and saturation data clinically and to determine an optimal phototherapy lamp combination for maximal bilirubin degradation.Keywords
