Double-Surface Phototherapy

Double-surface phototherapy may be used for selected newborns with clinically significant jaundice. During the consultation, the clinical team considers the child's age, current symptoms, previous medical history and the concerns shared by parents. This careful approach helps the family understand how Double-Surface Phototherapy fits into the child's overall healthcare plan.

Light reaches the baby from more than one direction while temperature, feeding and bilirubin response are monitored. Care is provided in a child-friendly manner with appropriate monitoring and clear communication at every stage. Parents can ask questions about preparation, expected progress, medicines or supportive measures, and any follow-up that may be required after Double-Surface Phototherapy.

Treatment duration and follow-up testing are determined by the baby’s age, bilirubin level and clinical assessment. Families receive practical guidance about home care, warning signs and the right time to return for review. If a child needs additional tests, observation, admission or specialist support, the next step is explained clearly and arranged according to the child's clinical condition.
