Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Sep-2014
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common hospital-acquired infection. The major associated cause is indwelling urethral catheters. Several measures have been introduced to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). One of these - Types of indwelling urinary catheters for long‐term bladder drainage in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Oct-2012
Prolonged urinary catheterization is common amongst people in long-term care settings and this carries a high risk of developing a catheter-related urinary tract infection and associated complications. A variety of different kinds of urethral catheters ar - Types of intra-muscular opioids for maternal pain relief in labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Oct-2008
Pethidine is the most widely used intra-muscular opioid for the relief of labour pain. However concerns have been raised about its effectiveness and the possibility of depressing respiration in newborns. - Types of intraocular lenses for cataract surgery in eyes with uveitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2014
Cataract formation often occurs in people with uveitis. It is unclear which intraocular lens (IOL) type is optimal for use in cataract surgery for eyes with uveitis. - Types of materials for frontalis sling surgery for congenital ptosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2019
Congenital ptosis is a drooping of one or both eyelids at birth, often due to poor development of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. This can result in amblyopia, astigmatism, and ocular torticollis and therefore may necessitate surgical interventio - Types of progestogens in combined oral contraception: effectiveness and side-effects
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Mar-2011
The progestogen component of combined oral contraceptives (COC) has undergone changes since it was first recognised that it's chemical structure could influence the spectrum of minor adverse and beneficial effects. The major determinants of effectiveness - Tyrosine supplementation for phenylketonuria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Jan-2021
Phenylketonuria is an inherited disease for which the main treatment is the dietary restriction of the amino acid phenylalanine. The diet has to be initiated in the neonatal period to prevent or reduce mental handicap. However, the diet is very restrictiv - Ultrafiltration for acute heart failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2022
Pharmacotherapies such as loop diuretics are the cornerstone treatment for acute heart failure (AHF), but resistance and poor response can occur. Ultrafiltration (UF) is an alternative therapy to reduce congestion, however its benefits, efficacy and safet - Ultra‐radical (extensive) surgery versus standard surgery for the primary cytoreduction of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Aug-2022
Ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer among women and the leading cause of death in women with gynaecological malignancies. Opinions differ regarding the role of ultra-radical (extensive) cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer treatment. - Ultrasonography for confirmation of gastric tube placement
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Apr-2017
Gastric tubes are commonly used for the administration of drugs and tube feeding for people who are unable to swallow. Feeding via a tube misplaced in the trachea can result in severe pneumonia. Therefore, the confirmation of tube placement in the stomach - Ultrasonography for diagnosis of alcoholic cirrhosis in people with alcoholic liver disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Mar-2016
Heavy alcohol consumption causes alcoholic liver disease and is a causal factor of many types of liver injuries and concomitant diseases. It is a true systemic disease that may damage the digestive tract, the nervous system, the heart and vascular system, - Ultrasonography for endoleak detection after endoluminal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jun-2017
People with abdominal aortic aneurysm who receive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) need lifetime surveillance to detect potential endoleaks. Endoleak is defined as persistent blood flow within the aneurysm sac following EVAR. Computed tomography (CT) a - Ultrasound and shockwave therapy for acute fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jun-2014
The morbidity and socioeconomic costs of fractures are considerable. The length of time to healing is an important factor in determining a person's recovery after a fracture. Ultrasound may have a therapeutic role in reducing the time to union after fract - Ultrasound for diagnosis of birth weight discordance in twin pregnancies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Mar-2021
There is a need to standardize monitoring in obstetric research of twin pregnancies. Identification of birth weight discordance (BWD), defined as a difference in the birth weights of twins, is a well-documented phenomenon in twin pregnancies. Ultrasound f - Ultrasound for fetal assessment in early pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jul-2015
Diagnostic ultrasound is a sophisticated electronic technology, which utilises pulses of high-frequency sound to produce an image. Diagnostic ultrasound examination may be employed in a variety of specific circumstances during pregnancy such as after clin - Ultrasound guidance for arterial (other than femoral) catheterisation in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Oct-2021
Arterial vascular access is a frequently performed procedure, with a high possibility for adverse events (e.g. pneumothorax, haemothorax, haematoma, amputation, death), and additional techniques such as ultrasound may be useful for improving outcomes. How - Ultrasound guidance for upper and lower limb blocks
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Sep-2015
Peripheral nerve blocks can be performed using ultrasound guidance. It is not yet clear whether this method of nerve location has benefits over other existing methods.
