Efektivitas stimulasi fisik terhadap reflek hisap neonatal hyperbilirubinemia di bawah fototerapi: A literature review

Abstract

Abstract Background: Hyperbilirubinemia is the level of bilirubin in the blood and body tissues of infants that exceeds the normal limit. This condition is not dangerous, but prevention, detection and management of hyperbilirubinemia in newborns remains a priority to reduce the neurotoxic effects of bilirubin, both short and long term including the possibility of severe hyperbilirubinemia. To determine the fulfillment of fluid needs in neonates, hyperbilirubinemia is related to the sucking reflex in the neonate itself. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of physical stimulation on the sucking reflex in neonates with hypobilirubinemia undergoing phototherapy. Method: Literature review research sourced from national and international journals with a search strategy using the Google Scholar, BMC, Sage Journal, and ScienceDirect databases published in the last 10 years. Results: Non-invasive physical therapy stimulation has many benefits and does not require special equipment in its implementation. This stimulation is effective in increasing the sucking reflex in hyperbilirubinous neonates undergoing phototherapy which is characterized by a decrease in bilirubin levels. Conclusion: Physical stimulation can increase the sucking reflex in hyperbilirubinous neonates undergoing phototherapy. Keywords: Hyperbilirubinemia Neonatal; Physical Stimulation; Sucking Reflex
