- Endotracheal intubation at birth for preventing morbidity and mortality in vigorous, meconium‐stained infants born at term
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2001
On the basis of evidence from non-randomised studies, it has been recommended that all babies born through thick meconium should have their tracheas intubated so that suctioning of their airways can be performed. The aim is to reduce the incidence and sev
- Endovascular coiling versus neurosurgical clipping for people with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Aug-2018
Around 30% of people who are admitted to hospital with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) will rebleed in the initial month after the haemorrhage if the aneurysm is not treated. The two most commonly used methods to occlude the aneurysm for prevent
- Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2014
An abnormal dilatation of the abdominal aorta is referred to as an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Due to the risk of rupture, surgical repair is offered electively to individuals with aneurysms greater than 5.5 cm in size. Traditionally, conventional op
- Endovascular repair versus open repair for inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Apr-2015
Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterised by marked thickening of the aortic wall, peri-aneurysmal and retroperitoneal fibrosis, and dense adhesions of adjacent abdominal organs. The p
- Endovascular revascularisation versus conservative management for intermittent claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Mar-2018
Intermittent claudication (IC) is the classic symptomatic form of peripheral arterial disease affecting an estimated 4.5% of the general population aged 40 years and older. Patients with IC experience limitations in their ambulatory function resulting in
- Endovascular stents for intermittent claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Endovascular stents have been suggested as a means to improve the patency of arteries after angioplasty in patients with intermittent claudication. This is an update of a Cochrane review published in 2002.
- Endovascular therapy versus medical treatment for symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Aug-2020
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is an arterial narrowing in the brain that can cause stroke. Endovascular therapy and medical management may be used to prevent recurrent ischaemic stroke caused by ICAS. However, there is no consensus on the b
- Endovascular thrombectomy and intra‐arterial interventions for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jun-2021
Most disabling strokes are due to a blockage of a large artery in the brain by a blood clot. Prompt removal of the clot with intra-arterial thrombolytic drugs or mechanical devices, or both, can restore blood flow before major brain damage has occurred, l
- Endovascular treatment for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-May-2017
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) (pathological enlargement of the aorta) is a condition that can occur as a person ages. It is most commonly seen in men older than 65 years of age. Progressive aneurysm enlargement can lead to rupture and massive interna
- Endovascular versus conventional medical treatment for uncomplicated chronic type B aortic dissection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Sep-2012
Aortic dissection is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a tear forms in the inner lining of the aorta. It has traditionally been treated by blood pressure control (medical treatment) or open surgery, both with high mortality rates.
- Endovascular versus open repair of asymptomatic popliteal artery aneurysm
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Dec-2019
Popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) is a focal dilatation and weakening of the popliteal artery. If left untreated, the aneurysm may thrombose, rupture or the clot within the aneurysm may embolise causing severe morbidity. PAA may be treated surgically by per
- Endovascular versus open surgical repair for complicated chronic Type B aortic dissection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Dec-2021
Type B aortic dissection can lead to serious and life-threatening complications such as aortic rupture, stroke, renal failure, and paraplegia, all of which require intervention. Traditionally, these complications have been treated with open surgery. Recen
- Endovenous ablation therapy (laser or radiofrequency) or foam sclerotherapy versus conventional surgical repair for short saphenous varicose veins
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Nov-2016
Short (or small) saphenous vein (SSV) varices occur as a result of an incompetent sapheno-popliteal junction, where the SSV joins the popliteal vein, resulting in reflux in the SSV; they account for about 15% of varicose veins. Untreated varicose veins ma
- Endovenous thermal ablation for healing venous ulcers and preventing recurrence
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Oct-2013
Venous leg ulcers represent the worst extreme within the spectrum of chronic venous disease. Affecting up to 3% of the adult population, this typically chronic, recurring condition significantly impairs quality of life, and its treatment places a heavy fi
- Enemas during labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2013
Although the use of enemas during labour usually reflects the preference of the attending healthcare provider, enemas may cause discomfort for women.
- Energy source instruments for laparoscopic colectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Apr-2011
Colectomy is a common procedures for both benign and malignant conditions. Increasingly more colectomy has been performed laparoscopically and there are several available instruments being used for this procedure. Of which three common dissecting instrume

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Oct-2008
Background pending.
- Enhanced care by generalists for functional somatic symptoms and disorders in primary care
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Sep-2013
Patients with medically unexplained or functional somatic symptoms are common in primary care. Previous reviews have reported benefit from specialised interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy and consultation letters, but there is a need for tr
- Enhanced external counterpulsation for chronic angina pectoris
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2010
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in developed and developing countries. Refractory stable angina pectoris is, in general, inadequately responsive to conventional medical therapy.
- Enhanced glucose control for preventing and treating diabetic neuropathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2012
There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes affects younger people and needs treatment with insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes affects older people and can usually be treated by diet and oral drugs. Diabetic neuropathy affects 10% of patients with d
