Transcutaneous bilirubin levels of newborn infants performed abdominal massage: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract: Purpose: This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of abdominal massage on bilirubin levels of newborn infants. Design and Methods:The sample group consisted of 90 newborn infants (experimental group: 44; control group: 46) who were followed in a university hospital after birth between March and August 2017. The data were collected using an Information Form, Observation Form, and Transcutaneous Bilirubin Level Meter.Bilirubin levels were measured 1 hr after the first brea… Show more

“…Bilirubin levels were measured in six of the included studies to evaluate the effect of infant massage on reducing jaundice [ 19 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. The six studies examined a total of 455 children; in five of these studies, children with jaundice were examined and treated with phototherapy [ 19 , 27 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

“…The six studies examined a total of 455 children; in five of these studies, children with jaundice were examined and treated with phototherapy [ 19 , 27 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. However, Gözen et al [ 28 ], assessed healthy children to determine whether and to what extent they developed jaundice with or without massage. In the studies examining children with jaundice, a significant difference in serum bilirubin levels was found after massage [ 19 , 27 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”
