I-Phototherapy uhlobo lokwelapha olusebenzisa ukukhanya ukwelapha izimo ezahlukene zezokwelapha, okuhlanganisa izinkinga zesikhumba, i-jaundice, kanye nokucindezeleka. Imibhede ye-Phototherapy iyimishini ekhipha ukukhanya ukwelapha lezi zimo. Kunezinhlobo ezimbili zemibhede ye-phototherapy: leyo ene-pulse kanye naleyo engena-pulse.
A umbhede we-phototherapy (umbhede wokwelapha ngokukhanya okubomvu) nge-pulse ikhipha ukukhanya ngezikhathi ezithile, kuyilapho umbhede we-phototherapy ongena-pulse ukhipha ukukhanya njalo. I-pulsing ivame ukusetshenziswa ezindaweni zezokwelapha ukunciphisa ingozi yokulimala kwesikhumba ngenxa yokuchayeka isikhathi eside ekwelashweni kokukhanya, ikakhulukazi kulabo abanesikhumba esibucayi.
Umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwemibhede ye-phototherapy ene-pulse kanye naleyo engenayo i-pulse yindlela ukukhanya okukhishwa ngayo. Nge-pulse, ukukhanya kukhishwa ngokuqhuma okufushane, okuvamile, okuvumela isikhumba ukuba siphumule phakathi kwama-pulse. Lokhu kungaba wusizo ezigulini ezizwela ukukhanya, njengoba kunciphisa ingozi yokulimala kwesikhumba ngenxa yokuchayeka isikhathi eside.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, imibhede ye-phototherapy engenawo ama-pulse ikhipha ukukhanya njalo, okungaba ngcono kwezinye izimo. Isibonelo, iziguli ezinezimo zesikhumba ezinzima zingadinga ukuchayeka isikhathi eside ekwelashweni kokukhanya ukuze zibone intuthuko.
Kukhona impikiswano emphakathini wezokwelapha mayelana nokusebenza kahle kanye nokuphepha kwe-pulse phototherapy uma kuqhathaniswa ne-non-pulsed phototherapy. Nakuba i-pulsng inganciphisa ingozi yokulimala kwesikhumba, inganciphisa nokusebenza kahle kokwelashwa. Ukusebenza kahle kwe-phototherapy kungancika futhi esimweni esithile eselashwayo kanye nezidingo zomuntu ngamunye zesiguli.
Uma ukhetha umbhede we-phototherapy, kubalulekile ukucabangela izidingo zomuntu ngamunye zesiguli, kanye nesimo esithile eselashwayo. Iziguli ezinesikhumba esibucayi zingase zizuze embhedeni we-phototherapy one-pulse, kuyilapho labo abanezimo zesikhumba ezinzima bangadinga umbhede we-phototherapy ongashayi. Ekugcineni, ukukhetha okungcono kuzoncika ezidingweni zesiguli ngasinye kanye neseluleko sochwepheshe wezokwelapha.
Ekuphetheni, imibhede ye-phototherapy ene-pulse ikhipha ukukhanya ngezikhathi ezimfushane, ezingavamile, kuyilapho imibhede ye-phototherapy engena-pulse ikhipha ukukhanya njalo. Ukukhetha ukuthi yiluphi uhlobo lombhede ozolisebenzisa kuncike ezidingweni zesiguli ngasinye kanye nesimo esithile esiphathwayo. Nakuba ukushaya kwenhliziyo kunganciphisa ingozi yokulimala kwesikhumba, kunganciphisa nokusebenza kahle kokwelashwa. Ukubonisana nochwepheshe wezokwelapha kubalulekile lapho unquma ukuthi yiluphi uhlobo lombhede we-phototherapy ozolisebenzisa.
