CASE STUDY 2:

Sammy is a newborn boy at 32 hours of life. His birth weight was 8 pounds. He was born via normal spontaneous vaginal birth at 40 weeks of gestation to a 26-year-old G1. There were no maternal prenatal issues. Labor and delivery were complicated by a prolonged second stage of labor, which eventually progressed to spontaneous birth. The Apgar scores were 6 and 8, and the infant was taken to the nursery for an observation period; he received IV fluids but did well and so was discharged to routine care in the mother’s room at 12 hours of life. Sammy was noted to have facial bruising and a cephalhematoma, which were attributed to the prolonged second stage of labor. All newborn blood work was normal. The group B strep culture was negative. Maternal blood type is A positive. Exclusive breastfeeding was initiated at 12 hours of life. On physical examination, Sammy has some jaundice evident on the chest and torso.

1. What risk factors does Sammy have for hyperbilirubinemia?

2. The pediatrician orders a bilirubin level, and the total serum bilirubin level is 7 mg/dL. A repeat level is ordered in 8 hours. Does this result indicate a dangerous level of hyperbilirubinemia?

3. What are the risks to the newborn with elevated bilirubin levels?

4. Sammy’s repeat total serum bilirubin was 5 mg/dL at 40 hours of life, and the pediatrician has given discharge orders for this evening when Sammy will be 48 hours old. What education is appropriate for Sammy’s parents at this time regarding jaundice?
