Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement is a non‐invasive method for measuring serum bilirubin level (Dai 1997). Transcutaneous bilirubinometry works by directing light into the skin and measuring the intensity of the wavelength of light that is returned (Boo 2007).

2010年8月15日 · Varvarigou and colleagues developed a predictive nomogram using TcB measurements for the evaluation of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

2023年11月22日 · Transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) is used as a valid screening to identify neonates requiring measurement of total serum bilirubin (TSB) before phototherapy. Its use during and after phototherapy is not advised yet because of unknown reliability.

Transcutaneous Bilirubinometer (TCB) Clinical Guideline V3.0 Page 4 of 11 1. Aim/Purpose of this Guideline 1.1. This guideline gives guidance on bilirubin measurement of the neonate by Transcutaneous Bilirubinometer (TCB) within the community/hospital setting. • Reduce the need for invasive and painful blood sampling for determining bilirubin ...

2023年8月16日 · TcB is an accurate estimation of serum bilirubin when test-negative: ruling out clinically significant hyperbilirubinemia. Test-positive tests require a serum bilirubin. The TcB meter has been a well-known point-of-care device for more than two decades.

2015年2月1日 · They nevertheless conclude that TcB measurements “provide reasonably accurate estimates of TSB values” and work well enough as a method for identifying significant hyperbilirubinemia.

2020年11月10日 · Nowadays, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement has become widely used in high-income countries as a screening tool for SNH, because this method is inexpensive, painless, and easy to use.

2023年8月3日 · Objective: To determine the accuracy of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) to predict total serum bilirubin (TSB) in preterm infants across gestational age (GA) ranges and to calculate the cost-effectiveness of TcB as the primary screening test of choice for neonatal jaundice in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) settings.

2023年5月9日 · The gold standard for measuring bilirubin levels is obtaining a blood sample and processing it in a laboratory. However, noninvasive transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurement devices are widely available and used in many settings to …

2005年3月1日 · Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements are desirable because of the frequency with which total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels are measured in newborns.
