Neoblue Blanket Machine

Amy, a registered nurse, displays a new Neoblue blanket machine that has been donated to the Maternity and Pediatrics Department to treat newborns who are jaundiced. Jaundice is a yellow tint to a newborn’s skin and the white part of the eyes. It is a sign that there’s too much bilirubin in the baby’s blood which can lead to serious complications. A newborn is treated with phototherapy to help their body break down and eliminate the bilirubin. The Neoblue blanket ensures that treatment can continue while breastfeeding, providing skin-to-skin contact while avoiding disruptions to the continum of care.
