Summary: The purpose of this article is to present a recent advance in phototherapy employed on newborn babies with jaundice. The efficacy of this treatment depends on the intensity of emitted light; it is believed that a dose between 6 -12 nm is necessary. The usefulness of phototherapy in healthy, full-term infants is currently being questioned. Therefore, the adequate use of this therapy should be emphasized until a consensus is reached on its advantages and disadvantages.

A eficácia desta forma terapêutica depende diretamente da intensidade de luz emitida pelos aparelhos e acredita-se que seja necessária uma dose entre 6 a 12 um/cm3/nanometro. Atualmente a indicação da fototerapia tem sido questionada em recém-nascidos de termo e sadios, porém o uso adequado desta terapia deve ser preconizado até que se tenha um "consensus" sobre as vantagens e desvantagens do seu emprego.São Paulo Medical JournalSão Paulo Medical Journal1996-03-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicosapm.emnuvens.com.br/spmj/article/view/1891São Paulo Medical Journal; Vol. 114 No. 2 (1996); 1134-1140São Paulo Medical Journal; v. 114 n. 2 (1996); 1134-11401806-9460reponame:São Paulo medical journal (Online)instname:Associação Paulista de Medicinainstacron:APMenghttps://periodicosapm.emnuvens.com.br/spmj/article/view/1891/1787https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAraújo, Maria Cristina Korbage deVaz, Flávio Adolfo CostaRamos, José Lauro Araújo2023-09-21T13:02:07Zoai:ojs.diagnosticoetratamento.emnuvens.com.br:article/1891Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/spmjPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phprevistas@apm.org.br1806-94601516-3180opendoar:2023-09-21T13:02:07São Paulo medical journal (Online) - Associação Paulista de Medicinafalse
