Re: Transcutaneous Bilirubin and Minimal Handling of Extremely Preterm Infants

A transcutaneous bilirubin check can be considered as a stressful care procedure. This procedure was not included in our table of procedures as participants in our study did not experience this type of procedure. If participants had experienced this procedure, it would have been added to the table of procedures. Thank you for your inquiry.
