• It is an option to provide conventional phototherapy in hospital or at home at TSB levels 35–50 µmol/L below those shown, but home phototherapy should not be used in any infant with risk factors.
• Use total bilirubin. Do not subtract direct reacting or conjugated bilirubin.• Risk factors = isoimmune hemolytic disease, G6PD deficiency, asphyxia,
respiratory distress, significant lethargy, temperature instability, sepsis, acidosis.• For well infants 35–37 6/7 wks can adjust TSB threshold around the medium
risk line; lower levels for infants closer to 35 ks gestations and higher levels for infants closer to 37 6/7 wks.
