- Frequency of dressing changes for central venous access devices on catheter-related infections
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jan-2016
People admitted to intensive care units and those with chronic health care problems often require long-term vascular access. Central venous access devices (CVADs) are used for administering intravenous medications and blood sampling. CVADs are covered wit - Frequency of endotracheal suctioning for the prevention of respiratory morbidity in ventilated newborns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-May-2016
Endotracheal suctioning consists of the mechanical aspiration of pulmonary secretions from the endotracheal tube (ETT) to prevent obstruction. The optimal frequency of ETT suctioning has not been defined. - Fresh frozen plasma for cardiovascular surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jul-2015
Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is a blood component containing procoagulant factors, which is sometimes used in cardiovascular surgery with the aim of reducing the risk of bleeding. The purpose of this review is to assess the risk of mortality for patients und - Fresh versus frozen embryo transfers in assisted reproduction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Mar-2017
In general, in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) implies a single fresh and one or more frozen-thawed embryo transfers. Alternatively, the 'freeze-all' strategy implies transfer of frozen-thawed embryos only, with no fre - FSH replaced by low-dose hCG in the late follicular phase versus continued FSH for assisted reproductive techniques
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2013
During controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is frequently used for several days to achieve follicular development. FSH is a relatively expensive drug, substantially contributing to the total expenses of assisted rep - Fulvestrant for hormone-sensitive metastatic breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Dec-2016
Fulvestrant is a selective oestrogen receptor down-regulator (SERD), which by blocking proliferation of breast cancer cells, is an effective endocrine treatment for women with hormone-sensitive advanced breast cancer. The goal of such systemic therapy in - Functional analysis-based interventions for challenging behaviour in dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Dec-2011
Functional analysis (FA) for the management of challenging behaviour is a promising behavioural intervention that involves exploring the meaning or purpose of an individual’s behaviour. It extends the ‘ABC’ approach of behavioural analysis, to overcome th - Functional capacity evaluations for the prevention of occupational re-injuries in injured workers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Feb-2016
Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) has been widely used to assess workers’ physical state of readiness to return to work (RTW) after an injury and to make recommendations for the time and capacity in which they might return. FCEs are also used to preven - Functional endoscopic balloon dilation of sinus ostia for chronic rhinosinusitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jun-2011
Dilation of sinus ostia using a high-pressure balloon has been introduced as a treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) refractory to medical treatment. The efficacy of this technology, however, has not been systematically reviewed. - Functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Aug-2009
This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 3, 2006. - Fundal pressure versus controlled cord traction as part of the active management of the third stage of labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Sep-2010
There are two basic interventions to help to deliver the placenta as part of the active management of the third stage of labour: (1) fundal pressure, and (2) controlled traction on the umbilical cord. Both of these methods may, in addition, have adverse o - Galantamine for Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Nov-2008
Galantamine is a specific, competitive, and reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. - Galantamine for vascular cognitive impairment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Mar-2013
Vascular dementia represents the second most common type of dementia after that caused by Alzheimer's disease. Particularly in older patients, the combination of vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease is common and is referred to as mixed dementia. The - Gamma and other cephalocondylic intramedullary nails versus extramedullary implants for extracapsular hip fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2010
Two types of implants used for the surgical fixation of extracapsular hip fractures are cephalocondylic intramedullary nails, which are inserted into the femoral canal proximally to distally across the fracture, and extramedullary implants (e.g. the slidi - Gangliosides for acute spinal cord injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in loss of feeling and movement. The consequences can be devastating for the patient and his or her carers. Global estimates of the number of new cases annually range from 15 to 40 per million. Leading causes of acute SCI - Garlic for preventing pre-eclampsia and its complications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2010
The suggestion that garlic may lower blood pressure, inhibit platelet aggregation, and reduce oxidative stress has led to the hypothesis that it may have a role in preventing pre-eclampsia and its complications. - Garlic for the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensive patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jul-2012
Garlic is widely used by patients for its blood pressure lowering effects. A meta-analysis published in 2008 concluded that garlic consumption lowers blood pressure in hypertensive and normotensive patients. Therefore, it is important to review the curren - Gastro-oesophageal reflux treatment for prolonged non-specific cough in children and adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Dec-2010
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is said to be the causative factor in up to 41% of adults with chronic cough. Treatment for GORD includes conservative measures (diet manipulation), pharmaceutical therapy (motility or prokinetic agents, H2-antagonis - Gauze and tape and transparent polyurethane dressings for central venous catheters
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-May-2016
Central venous catheters (CVCs) facilitate venous access, allowing the intravenous administration of complex drug treatments, blood products and nutritional support, without the trauma associated with repeated venepuncture. However, CVCs are associated wi - Gefitinib for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jan-2018
The role of gefitinib for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is evolving. We undertook a systematic review to evaluate the available evidence from all randomised trials.
