Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is common complaint in neonatal medicine and most of neonates were involved. Intravenous (IVFT) fluid therapy can decrease neonatal needs to blood exchange and hospitalization in accompanied with phototherapy. Present control trial was designed for determining the impacts of IVFT fluid therapy accompanied with phototherapy in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.
Methods: Present parallel randomized double blinded control trial study was performed on fifty term infants of two educational hospitals during six months between January and June 2015. Study intervention was getting 70 cc/kg IV fluid (mixture of 33.3%normal saline and 66.6% dextrose serum) more than phototherapy. Study object was assessment of impact of IV fluid therapy on serum bilirubin of neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. Outcome was decrease in serum bilirubin level of neonates. Neonates were allocated to the trial groups randomly with table of accidental numbers.
Results: Finally 25 neonates in case and 25 neonates in control group included into analysis. Total Serum Bilirubin (TSB) was checked eight hours after study begging and continues daily until achieving to less than 12 mg/dl. Complete blood cells and group, maternal and infants Rh, direct combs test, reticulocyte count , total and direct bilirubin were measured accompanied with TSB. There was no significant differences in serum level of bilirubin between study groups in first eight hours, first and second day. Mean of hospital stay duration between two study groups had no significant differences.
Conclusion: IV fluid therapy had not significant therapeutic effects on TSB in neonates but it can be used for treatment of dehydration. |
