Overview
This clinical guideline outlines a standardized approach for emergency physicians to assess and manage neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice. It emphasizes timely bilirubin measurement, risk stratification based on age and neurotoxicity risk factors, and evidence-based thresholds for initiating phototherapy or exchange transfusion. The protocol ensures appropriate treatment, disposition, and follow-up to prevent bilirubin-induced neurologic dysfunction.
