For anyone who takes care of newborns!! When do we get the baby's blood type? When to check a bilirubin? Is a transcutaneous bilirubin accurate? How do we figure out when to start phototherapy? What about IV fluids? Should we supplement feeds? When do we get a rebound bili? When do we perform an exchange transfusion??!!! So many questions!!
The AAP released an updated policy statement in 2022 on how to take care of babies with jaundice above 35 weeks. In this video we cover that paper- and all their Key Action Statements.
