We provide a predictive TcB tool that could allow for a noninvasive, risk-based approach to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

We provide data on TcB levels for the first 120 postnatal hours from a large population of white, healthy, term and near-term neonates. We also present a percentile-based TcB nomogram designated for noninvasive and hour-specific evaluation of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Pediatric health care professionals have marked deficiencies in their knowledge on pulse oximetry, particularly in regard to the principles underlying the method and its limitations. Strategies that are directed at improving knowledge on pulse oximetry are urgently needed at all levels of experience in pediatric care.
