The principle of blue light jaundice is because blue light irradiation can make unconjugated bilirubin photoisomerized, forming water-soluble conformational isomers, which can be directly excreted through bile and urine, thus reducing jaundice; its hazards include: some infants may show different degrees of fever, diarrhea, rash, generally not too serious, after the suspension of phototherapy can be self-relieved. In addition, when phototherapy, the child may sweat, may show dehydration, so pay attention to supplement moisture; for children with elevated bilirubin, phototherapy may cause the child's skin to be bronzed, this time should stop phototherapy, generally can self-resolve.
