- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoEfectos secundarios de la fototerapia como tratamiento en la ictericia neonatal(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Zhindón Córdova, Viviana Nube; Alomía Castro, Paúl Esteban; 0302556899; ., .Phototherapy is the treatment for neonatal jaundice, especially indicated in indirect hyperbilirubinemia. The efficacy in decreasing bilirubin values after light exposure is significant. However, as well as there are benefits, short and long-term side effects have been presented in neonates after phototherapy, among which mother-child interference, skin lesions, hydro-electrolytic and thermal imbalance, and benign tumors are indicated. A systematic review of scientific documents in digital databases such as Cochrane Plus, Medline, SciELO, Elvesier, PubMed, and WorldWideScience org was conducted using previously defined keywords. The guidelines taken as a reference were those described by the PRIMA 2020 standards. In the results, 30 articles published in national and international impact journals with moderate and high scientific quality were compiled, evidencing neonatal jaundice's prevalence is higher in Latin America and Ecuador and hyperbilirubinemia is among the top ten causes of morbidity in children under one year of age. At the end of the research, it was concluded that, despite the effectiveness of phototherapy, its application should be only in necessary cases. Although the studies included in this project demonstrated possible side effects in the neonate, it is important to follow the recommended guidelines since phototherapy can develop immediately or mediate harmful effects in the newborn.
