- Continuous glucose monitoring systems for type 1 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Dec-2011
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is essential to optimise glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems measure interstitial fluid glucose levels to provide semi-continuous information about glucose levels, whi - Continuous heparin infusion to prevent thrombosis and catheter occlusion in neonates with peripherally placed percutaneous central venous catheters
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jun-2011
Complications associated with peripherally placed percutaneous central venous catheters (PCVC) in neonates include catheter thrombosis, occlusion or dislodgement and infection. Strategies to prevent catheter thrombosis and occlusion include the use of hep - Continuous infusion versus bolus injection of loop diuretics in congestive heart failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews,
Loop diuretics, when given as intermittent bolus injections in acutely decompensated heart failure, may cause fluctuations in intravascular volume, increased toxicity and development of tolerance. Continuous infusion has been proposed to avoid these compl - Continuous infusion versus intermittent bolus doses of indomethacin for patent ductus arteriosus closure in symptomatic preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Mar-2010
Indomethacin is a prostaglandin inhibitor used for the prevention and the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Potential adverse effects of indomethacin use in premature infants include reduction in cerebral, mesenteric and renal blood flow and pl - Continuous infusion versus intermittent flushing to prevent loss of function of peripheral intravenous catheters used for drug administration in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2008
The use of peripheral intravenous cannulae is common in newborn babies. Many of them require an intravenous line only for medications and not for fluid. Currently there is little uniformity in methods used to maintain cannula patency. - Continuous interscalene brachial plexus block versus parenteral analgesia for postoperative pain relief after major shoulder surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Feb-2014
Postoperative pain may lead to adverse effects on the body, which might result in an increase in morbidity. Its management therefore poses a unique challenge for the clinician. Major shoulder surgery is associated with severe postoperative pain, and diffe - Continuous intravenous perioperative lidocaine infusion for postoperative pain and recovery in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jun-2018
The management of postoperative pain and recovery is still unsatisfactory in a number of cases in clinical practice. Opioids used for postoperative analgesia are frequently associated with adverse effects, including nausea and constipation, preventing smo - Continuous local anaesthetic wound infusion for postoperative pain after midline laparotomy for colorectal resection in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2019
Colorectal resection through a midline laparotomy is a commonly performed surgical procedure to treat various bowel conditions. The typical postoperative hospital stay after this operation is 6 to 10 days. The main factors hindering early recovery and dis - Continuous nasogastric milk feeding versus intermittent bolus milk feeding for preterm infants less than 1500 grams
Cochrane Systematic Reviews,
Milk feedings can be given via nasogastric tube either intermittently, typically over 10 to 20 minutes every two or three hours, or continuously, using an infusion pump. Although the theoretical benefits and risks of each method have been proposed, their - Continuous negative extrathoracic pressure or continuous positive airway pressure compared to conventional ventilation for acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2013
Acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in children. Positive pressure ventilation is currently the standard care, however, it does have complications. Continuous negative extrathoracic pressure (CNEP) - Continuous or extended cycle vs. cyclic use of combined hormonal contraceptives for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Nov-2019
The avoidance of menstruation through continuous or extended (greater than 28 days) administration of combination hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) has gained legitimacy through its use in treating endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, and menstruation-associated sym - Continuous passive motion following total knee arthroplasty in people with arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Mar-2014
Arthritis of the knee is a common problem causing pain and disability. If severe, knee arthritis can be surgically managed with a total knee arthroplasty. Rehabilitation following knee arthroplasty often includes continuous passive motion (CPM). CPM is ap - Continuous passive motion for preventing venous thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jul-2014
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common form of orthopaedic surgery. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which consists of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a major and potentially fatal complication after TKA. The incidence of DVT - Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during the postoperative period for prevention of postoperative morbidity and mortality following major abdominal surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2014
Major abdominal surgery can be associated with a number of serious complications that may impair patient recovery. In particular, postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), including respiratory complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia, are a ma - Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for acute bronchiolitis in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jan-2019
Acute bronchiolitis is one of the most frequent causes of emergency department visits and hospitalisation in children. There is no specific treatment for bronchiolitis except for supportive treatment, which includes ensuring adequate hydration and oxygen - Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for respiratory distress in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews,
Respiratory distress, particularly respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), is the single most important cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. In infants with progressive respiratory insufficiency, intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IP - Continuous positive airway pressure delivery interfaces for obstructive sleep apnoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jun-2014
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the mainstay of therapy for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, compliance with CPAP has been less than ideal. There are many different CPAP interfaces now available for the treatment o - Continuous positive airway pressure versus theophylline for apnea in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2008
Recurrent apnea is common in preterm infants, particularly at very early gestational ages. These episodes of loss of effective breathing can lead to hypoxemia and bradycardia which may be severe enough to require resuscitation including use of positive pr - Continuous positive airways pressure for obstructive sleep apnoea in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Jul-2008
Obstructive sleep apnoea is the periodic reduction (hypopnoea) or cessation (apnoea) of breathing due to narrowing or occlusion of the upper airway during sleep. The main symptom is daytime sleepiness and it has been suggested it is linked to premature de - Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for rhabdomyolysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2014
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition that is characterised by the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue and leakage of intracellular myocyte contents into circulating blood. Rhabdomyolysis can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) and is a potentially life-threatening
