Key points:
-Unconjugated bilirubin is fat soluble so can cross the blood brain barrier and cause kernicterus
-Check bilirubin levels at least every 24 hours while a newborn is first hospitalized
-New AAP guidelines on hyperbilirubinemia management raised phototherapy and exchange transfusion thresholds
-Transcutaneous bilirubin monitoring has a +/- 3 margin of error
