Comparison of BiliCocoon phototherapy with overhead phototherapy in hyperbilirubinemic neonates. A randomized clinical trial
The BiliCocoon has a bilirubin reducing efficacy, sufficient for almost all neonates during 24 hours of phototherapy. The BiliCocoon does not have an equal bilirubin reducing efficacy as overhead phototherapy. The duration of light exposure was longer for the neonates treated in the BiliCocoon. A few neonates can be exclusively breastfed in the BiliCocoon throughout the treatment. The reason for stopping breastfeeding in the BiliCocoon was most often, that the neonates developed hyperthermia.
