Background: Jaundice in newborns has caused a diagnostic challenge for doctors. Almost every newborn has an increase in serum bilirubin, and more than 50% look yellow during the first week of life. The development of phototherapy lamps has been widely carried out. The most recent one is phototherapy with a blanket model that has been developed and used in developed countries. Method: The purpose of this study is to find out how to reduce the temperature of the touch surface so that it is included in the safe category for use, which is around 37 °C-38°C. The temperature generated by the blanket system must be considered to keep the baby comfortable using it. Results: Based on improvements in the parallel circuit arrangement in BLUI Blanket PROTO-3, it is proven that a suitable parallel circuit can reduce tem.. Read More»
