Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effect of bundling gentle body massage along with regular position change on bilirubin level and clinical outcomes among full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia under phototherapy.

Hypothesis

Full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia who receive gentle body massage along with regular position change exhibit less bilirubin level and better clinical outcomes than those who don't.

Conditions

  • Hyperbilirubinemia, Neonatal

Interventions

OTHER

Gentle Body message

The intervention group received gentle body massage twice/day and position change from supine to lateral every two hours under the phototherapy for three consecutive days in addition to routine NICU care.

OTHER

Routine NICU Care

received the conventional NICU care of infants undergoing phototherapy. Phototherapy was given by single Blue LEDs emitting light in a narrow spectrum (450-470 nm). Initially, phototherapy lamps were checked and adjusted at the height of 30 cm from the neonates who were kept naked in the incubator/crib except for the reproductive organs with shielded eyes. The neonates were positioned supine under the phototherapy. The treatment was given continuously, except while feeding and nursing for 30 minutes every 3 hours. The neonates' skin was cleaned with warm water without applying any sorts of ointments oils or creams. They were also observed for signs of dehydration.
