Aluminum Foil Reflector
"The hyperbilirubinemia newborns will receive phototherapy with an Aluminum Foil Reflector around an incubator. The aluminum foil reflector, sewn inside a cloth that is 30 cm long and 3 mm thick, will be hung from the three sides of the phototherapy unit. The reflector will cover the whole incubator except for the foot part to allow infant observation during treatment. While receiving phototherapy, the lights will be continuously on, except during feeding, physical examination, and blood taking. All participants will dress only in nappies and eye masks during phototherapy treatment.~Serum bilirubin will be taken every 24 hours until phototherapy can be stopped according to AAP guidelines."
