Expert Answer :
Dear Dr Upendranath
Sounds like you need to attend one of our NNF workshop on jaundice or alternatively please read text book of Neonatology by Dr NRC Roberton where it is explained very well what the indications are. 12 mg percent is NOT enough indication for triple PT!! {even Single PT!!}.
