The Use of Glycerin Suppositories to Reduce Hyperbilirubinemia in Premature Infants Requiring Phototherapy

University of Rochester·interventional·Posted Dec 11, 2012·Updated Dec 9, 2015

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Phototherapy and glycerin suppository for Idiopathic Hyperbilirubinemia and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 79 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if giving glycerin suppositories will help decrease the length of time premature infants need phototherapy. The investigators hypothesize that glycerin suppositories (initiated along with phototherapy) will have no effect on reducing duration of phototherapy in premature infants with jaundice.

Interventions

Phototherapyprocedure

Light therapy is used to treat cases of neonatal jaundice through the isomerization of the bilirubin and consequently transformation into compounds that the newborn can excrete via urine and stools.

glycerin suppositorydrug

Promotes stooling through rectal stimulation and softening of stool. Given every 8 hours rectally. A pediatric glycerin suppository is 1.2 grams. All infants in this study arm will receive our standard dose of glycerin suppository which is 0.25 of the pediatric suppository or 0.3 grams.
