In neonatal jaundice; Is it practical to check breath CO2 to monitor the course and the treatment?


It's said that in healthy well neonatal icter there is a rise in breath CO2 -measurable with capnography- which correlates well with the extent of icter and course of it (regardless of the treatment). So it can be used as a noninvasive test to evaluate the icter in its first presentation and to monitor the treatment.
I'm planning a search to evaluate above statement. Would you kindly help me understand value of my thought to carry on?

Sorry, no idea.
