dear sir

What should you do if your baby needs phototherapy while using hypothermia?

In our setup, as we are in a tropical country, hypothermia gradually improves while giving phototherapy. If the baby is a preterm and at risk of hypothermia, we use an incubator with a facility to give double phototherapy. While working at the NHS-UK I have noticed NICU nurses using bubble wrap to keep the babies warm while giving phototherapy. I hope this answers your question. Thank you.

The bubble wrap

I once had to use intensive phototherapy on a newborn undergoing therapeutic hypothermia, and there is no problem in using both treatments together, as the hypothermia device adjusts the temperature to maintain the target temperature (33.5 °C) by reducing the temperature of the water circulating through the device (in this case, an Artic Sun).

Perfect!!!! We do the same in Brazil.
