Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia management: Clinical assessment of bilirubin production.
Seminars in Perinatology 2021 Februrary
The predominant cause of elevated total/plasma bilirubin (TB) levels is from an increase in bilirubin production primarily because of ongoing hemolysis. If undiagnosed or untreated, the risk for developing extreme neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and possibly bilirubin-induced neurological dysfunction (BIND) is increased. Since carbon monoxide (CO) and bilirubin are produced in equimolar amounts during the heme catabolic process, measurements of end-tidal CO levels, corrected for ambient CO (ETCOc) can be used as a direct indicator of ongoing hemolysis. A newly developed point-of-care ETCOc device has been shown to be a useful for identifying hemolysis-associated hyperbilirubinemia in newborns. This review summarizes the biology of bilirubin production, the clinical utility of a novel device to identify neonates undergoing hemolysis, and a brief introduction on the use of ETCOc measurements in a cohort of neonates in China.
