- Anticholinergic therapy for acute asthma in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Feb-2012
Inhaled anticholinergics as single agent bronchodilators (or in combination with beta2-agonists) are one of the several medications available for the treatment of acute asthma in children. - Anticholinergic therapy for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-May-2011
Anticholinergic agents block bronchoconstriction mediated by the vagus nerve and may also dry up bronchial secretions. They are effective in obstructive airways disease and may be beneficial in bronchiectasis - Anticholinergic therapy for chronic asthma in children over two years of age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Jun-2014
In the intrinsic system of controlling airway calibre, the cholinergic (muscarinic) sympathetic nervous system has an important role. Anticholinergic, anti muscarinic bronchodilators such as ipratropium bromide are frequently used in the management of chi - Anticholinergics for neuroleptic-induced acute akathisia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
Neuroleptic-induced akathisia is one of the most common and distressing early-onset adverse effects of first generation 'typical' antipsychotic drugs. It is associated with poor compliance with treatment, and thus, ultimately, with an increased risk of re - Anticholinergics for prolonged non-specific cough in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2010
Non-specific cough is defined as non-productive cough in the absence of identifiable respiratory disease or known aetiology. It is commonly seen in paediatric practice. These children are treated with a variety of therapies including inhaled anti-choliner - Anticholinergics for symptomatic management of Parkinson´s disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2008
Anticholinergics were the first drugs available for the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson´s disease and they are still widely used today, both as monotherapy and as part of combination regimes. They are commonly believed to be associated with a less favo - Anticholinergics for urinary symptoms in multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jun-2015
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the commonest physically disabling chronic neurological disease affecting young people. Urinary symptoms are present in about 68% of people with MS but their basis has a number of potential aetiologies that can change with time. - Anticoagulant and aspirin prophylaxis for preventing thromboembolism after major gynaecological surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2008
The reported overall risk of deep venous thrombosis in gynaecological surgery ranges from 7 to 45%. Fatal pulmonary embolism is estimated to occur in nearly 1% of these women. Pharmaceutical interventions are one possible prophylactic measure for preventi - Anticoagulant therapy for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2010
Thromboembolic complications are much higher in pregnancy due to procoagulant changes. Heparin does not cross the placenta and the use of unfractionated heparin (UFH) is the current established practice in prophylaxis and treatment for thromboembolism in - Anticoagulant treatment for subsegmental pulmonary embolism
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jan-2016
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cause of death, accounting for 50,000 to 200,000 deaths annually. It is the third most common cause of mortality among the cardiovascular diseases, after coronary artery disease and stroke. - Anticoagulants (extended duration) for prevention of venous thromboembolism following total hip or knee replacement or hip fracture repair
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2016
The optimal duration of thromboprophylaxis after total hip or knee replacement, or hip fracture repair remains controversial. It is common practice to administer prophylaxis using low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH) until d - Anticoagulants (heparin, low molecular weight heparin and oral anticoagulants) for intermittent claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2014
Anticoagulant treatment for intermittent claudication might improve functional capacity and prevent acute cardiovascular complications caused by peripheral obstructive arterial disease. This is an update of the review first published in 2001. - Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents for preventing central venous haemodialysis catheter malfunction in patients with end-stage kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2016
Catheter malfunction, including thrombosis, is associated with reduced dialysis adequacy, as well as an increased risk of catheter-related bacteraemia and mortality. The role of anticoagulants in the prevention of catheter malfunction remains uncertain. - Anticoagulants for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Mar-2015
Most ischaemic strokes are caused by a blood clot blocking an artery in the brain. Clot prevention with anticoagulants might improve outcomes if bleeding risks are low. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 1995, with recent updates in - Anticoagulants for preventing recurrence following presumed non-cardioembolic ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Feb-2009
After a first ischaemic stroke, further vascular events due to thromboembolism are common and often fatal. Anticoagulants could potentially reduce the risk of such events, but any benefits could be offset by an increased risk of fatal or disabling haemorr - Anticoagulants for preventing stroke in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation and a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Mar-2011
People with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation (NRAF) who have had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or a minor ischaemic stroke are at high risk of recurrent stroke. - Anticoagulants or antiplatelet therapy for non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation and flutter
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Oct-2008
Atrial fibrillation (AF) carries a high risk of stroke and other thromboembolic events. Appropriate use of drugs to prevent thromboembolism in patients with AF involves comparing the patient's risk of stroke to the risk of hemorrhage from medication use. - Anticoagulants versus antiplatelet agents for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Mar-2011
Antiplatelet agents produce a small, but worthwhile benefit in long-term functional outcome and survival, and have become standard treatment for acute ischaemic stroke. Anticoagulants are often used as an alternative treatment, despite evidence that they - Anticoagulants versus antiplatelet therapy for preventing stroke in patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation and a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Mar-2011
People with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation (NRAF) who have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke are at risk of recurrent stroke. Both warfarin and aspirin have been shown to reduce the recurrence of vascular events. - Anticoagulants versus non-steroidal anti-inflammatories or placebo for treatment of venous thromboembolism
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2008
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the term given to any thromboembolic event (blocking of a blood vessel by a blood clot) occurring in the venous system. The current treatment recommended for VTE is anticoagulation (reduction of the blood's ability to clot)
