Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of blue light therapeutic blanket combined with intestinal probiotics in the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.Methods A total of 92 neonates with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were randomly divided into two groups with 46 cases each.The neonates in group C were treated with conventional oral intestinal probiotics alone and those in group A were treated additionally with intermittent phototherapy of blue light therapeutic blanket for 3 days.The transcutaneous bilirubin levels were detected before treatment and at 12 hours after phototherapy.The therapeutic effectiveness rate and the changes of fetal transcutaneous bilirubin level were compared between the two groups.Results The therapeutic effectiveness rate was higher in group A than that in group C(82.61%vs.60.87%)(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the transcutaneous bilirubin level before treatment(P>0.05),which after treatment was lower in group A than that in group C[(200.03±18.85)pmol/L vs.(209.97±22.00)pmol/L](P<0.05).Conclusion On the basis of oral intestinal probiotics,adding intermittent phototherapy of blue light therapeutic blanket can more effectively improve the symptoms of the neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.
