- Flow-cycled versus time-cycled synchronized ventilation for neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jun-2010
Synchronized ventilation of neonates is standard care in industrialized countries. Both flow-cycled and time-cycled modes of synchronized ventilation are in widespread use for assisted ventilation of neonates.
- Flow-regulated versus differential pressure-regulated shunt valves for adult patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2013
Since 1965 many ventriculo-peritoneal shunt systems have been inserted worldwide to treat hydrocephalus. The most frequent indication in adults is normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a condition that can be difficult to diagnose precisely. Surgical inter
- Fludrocortisone for orthostatic hypotension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-May-2021
Orthostatic hypotension is an excessive fall in blood pressure (BP) while standing and is the result of a decrease in cardiac output or defective or inadequate vasoconstrictor mechanisms. Fludrocortisone is a mineralocorticoid that increases blood volume
- Fluid and pharmacological agents for adhesion prevention after gynaecological surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2020
Adhesions are fibrin bands that are a common consequence of gynaecological surgery. They are caused by conditions that include pelvic inflammatory disease and endometriosis. Adhesions are associated with comorbidities, including pelvic pain, subfertility,
- Fluid replacement therapy for acute episodes of pain in people with sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jul-2017
Treating vaso-occlusive painful crises in people with sickle cell disease is complex and requires multiple interventions. Extra fluids are routinely given as adjunct treatment, regardless of the individual's state of hydration with the aim of slowing or s
- Fluid restriction and prophylactic indomethacin versus prophylactic indomethacin alone for prevention of morbidity and mortality in extremely low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jun-2011
Although survival of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants has dramatically improved over the last decades, the rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not changed. The use of indomethacin prophylaxis in ELBW infants results in improved short-ter
- Fluid restriction for term infants with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy following perinatal asphyxia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
Current recommendations to control the consequences of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy following perinatal asphyxia include the careful management of fluids, with avoidance of fluid overload and thus avoidance of cerebral oedema. Recommendations for flui
- Fluid restriction for treatment of preterm infants with chronic lung disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Feb-2017
Fluid restriction is often recommended as part of the management of infants with early or established bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
- Fluid restriction in the management of transient tachypnea of the newborn
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Feb-2021
Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is caused by delayed clearance of lung fluid at birth. TTN typically appears within the first two hours of life in term and late preterm neonates and is characterized by tachypnea and signs of respiratory distress.
- Fluid supplementation for neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Aug-2017
Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia is a common problem which carries a risk of neurotoxicity. Certain infants who have hyperbilirubinaemia develop bilirubin encephalopathy and kernicterus which may lead to long-term disability. Phototherapy is currently the mai
- Fluid therapy for acute bacterial meningitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2016
Acute bacterial meningitis remains a disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. However, with prompt and adequate antimicrobial and supportive treatment, the chances for survival have improved, especially among infants and children. Careful manageme
- Fluids and diuretics for acute ureteric colic
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2012
Acute ureteric colic is commonly associated with severe and debilitating pain. Theoretically, increasing fluid flow through the affected kidney might expedite stone passage, thereby improving symptoms more quickly. The efficacy and safety of interventions
- Flumazenil versus placebo or no intervention for people with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Aug-2017
Hepatic encephalopathy is a common complication of cirrhosis which results in poor brain functioning. The spectrum of changes associated with hepatic encephalopathy ranges from the clinically 'indiscernible' or minimal hepatic encephalopathy to the clinic
- Fluorescence devices for the detection of dental caries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2020
Caries is one of the most prevalent and preventable conditions worldwide. If identified early enough then non-invasive techniques can be applied, and therefore this review focusses on early caries involving the enamel surface of the tooth. The cornerstone
- Fluoridated milk for preventing dental caries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2015
Dental caries remains a major public health problem in most industrialised countries, affecting 60% to 90% of schoolchildren and the vast majority of adults. Milk may provide a relatively cost-effective vehicle for fluoride delivery in the prevention of d
- Fluoride for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2000
Osteoporosis is a condition that results in an increased risk of fractures due to the reduction of bone volume, which is caused by an imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption. Because of this property, fluoride has been used for over 30 years
- Fluoride gels for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jun-2015
Topically applied fluoride gels have been widely used as a caries-preventive intervention in dental surgeries and school-based programmes for over three decades. This updates the Cochrane review of fluoride gels for preventing dental caries in children an
- Fluoride mouthrinses for preventing dental caries in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2016
Fluoride mouthrinses have been used extensively as a caries-preventive intervention in school-based programmes and by individuals at home. This is an update of the Cochrane review of fluoride mouthrinses for preventing dental caries in children and adoles
- Fluoride supplementation (with tablets, drops, lozenges or chewing gum) in pregnant women for preventing dental caries in the primary teeth of their children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2017
Dental caries (tooth decay) is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases. Caries prevalence in most industrialised countries has declined among children over the past few decades. The probable reasons for the decline are the widespread use of fluo
- Fluoride supplements (tablets, drops, lozenges or chewing gums) for preventing dental caries in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
Dietary fluoride supplements were first introduced to provide systemic fluoride in areas where water fluoridation is not available. Since 1990, the use of fluoride supplements in caries prevention has been re-evaluated in several countries.
