Treatment of ABO hemolytic jaundice

I believe that everyone is familiar with the symptoms of Abo hemolytic jaundice. Abo hemolytic jaundice is a symptom that is common in newborns. The occurrence of this symptom will bring many harms to the health of newborns. Therefore, we recommend that parents and friends need to learn more about Abo hemolytic jaundice. Below we will introduce the treatment methods of Abo hemolytic jaundice.

1. Phototherapy: Exposure of children to light with a wavelength of 440nm can reduce serum bilirubin and prevent the occurrence of kernicterus. If kernicterus has already occurred, it can speed up recovery. After exposure to this light, bilirubin is photooxidized into a colorless substance and excreted from the body through urine and bile. This treatment is simple and easy and has certain efficacy. A simple method is to use 7 40W blue fluorescent tubes as the light source. Place the child in an incubator, remove the child's clothes and diapers, and cover the child's eyes with a black eye patch (gauze wrapped in black paper). Place the light source 33 to 35 cm from the body surface and change the body position once an hour to increase the illuminated area. The lighting time is mostly 24 to 48 hours, and can reach up to 96 hours.

2. Blood transfusion: If serum indirect bilirubin exceeds 20 mg/dl (342 μmol/L), exchange blood transfusion is required. Blood donors must first undergo a screening test for G6PD deficiency. Only those without G6PD deficiency can donate blood to avoid worsening of jaundice and jaundice after transfusion. Avoid blood donation from relatives. Patients with mild jaundice do not need blood transfusion.

In the above article, we introduced a symptom that is common in newborns, that is, ABO hemolytic jaundice. We know that the harm of ABO hemolytic jaundice is relatively wide, so parents should help newborns prevent ABO hemolytic jaundice. The above article introduces the treatment methods of ABO hemolytic jaundice in detail.
