Phototherapy Services at Jagrani Hospital

Phototherapy is a specialized medical treatment that uses light to treat certain skin conditions, particularly those related to jaundice in newborn babies. At Jagrani Hospital, we offer advanced phototherapy services to provide safe and effective treatment for infants with neonatal jaundice, ensuring their health and well-being during this critical stage of development.

Comprehensive Neonatal Care

Our phototherapy services are an integral part of our neonatal care program, which is designed to provide comprehensive medical care for newborn babies. Key features of our neonatal care program include:

• Early Detection and Diagnosis: Our experienced pediatricians and neonatologists are trained to detect and diagnose neonatal jaundice promptly, ensuring timely intervention and treatment to prevent complications.
• Advanced Phototherapy: We utilize state-of-the-art phototherapy equipment, including specialized phototherapy lights and beds, to provide targeted light therapy for infants with jaundice. Our phototherapy units are designed to deliver the optimal wavelength and intensity of light to effectively reduce bilirubin levels in the blood.
• Continuous Monitoring: During phototherapy treatment, infants are closely monitored by our skilled nursing staff to ensure their safety and well-being. Vital signs, bilirubin levels, hydration status, and other parameters are monitored regularly to assess the response to treatment and adjust therapy as needed.

Safe and Effective Treatment

Phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for neonatal jaundice, with minimal risks and side effects when administered under medical supervision. Key aspects of our phototherapy services include:

• Gentle and Non-Invasive: Phototherapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves exposing the baby's skin to special fluorescent lights. The light penetrates the skin and converts bilirubin molecules into a form that can be easily excreted from the body, reducing bilirubin levels in the blood.
• Minimal Discomfort: Our phototherapy units are designed to provide a comfortable environment for infants during treatment, with soft bedding and minimal disruption to their normal feeding and sleeping routines. Parents are encouraged to stay with their babies during phototherapy sessions to provide comfort and support.
• Expert Monitoring: Our nursing staff is trained to monitor infants closely during phototherapy treatment, ensuring that they receive the appropriate level of light exposure and hydration to minimize the risk of dehydration and other complications.

Family-Centered Care

At Jagrani Hospital, we understand the importance of family involvement in the care of newborn babies. Our phototherapy services are designed to promote family-centered care, with a focus on:

• Parent Education: We provide comprehensive education and support to parents about neonatal jaundice, phototherapy treatment, and caring for their baby during and after treatment. Our team is available to answer questions, address concerns, and provide guidance throughout the treatment process.
• Emotional Support: We recognize that having a baby undergo medical treatment can be stressful for parents. Our team provides emotional support and reassurance to parents, helping them feel confident and empowered to care for their baby during phototherapy treatment.
• Continuity of Care: Our goal is to ensure seamless continuity of care for newborn babies, from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. We work closely with pediatricians, neonatologists, and other healthcare providers to coordinate care and provide comprehensive support for infants and their families.
