Intramedullary nails may be used for the surgical fixation of extracapsular hip fractures in adults. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2005 and last updated in 2008.
- Intramuscular arteether for treating severe malaria
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Apr-2011
Quinine and artemisinin drugs are used in severe malaria, but quinine resistance is increasing. Arteether is a recently developed artemisinin derivative that is oil soluble, has a long elimination half life, and is more stable than other derivatives.
- Intramuscular penicillin for the prevention of early onset group B streptococcal infection in newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Mar-2012
Early-onset group B streptococcal disease (EOGBSD) is the most frequent cause of serious infection in the newborn period. Current strategies used to prevent EOGBSD are focused upon maternal antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce transmission of GBS to the infan
- Intramuscular versus intravenous anti-D for preventing Rhesus alloimmunization during pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Dec-2012
Antibodies to the red cell Rhesus D (RhD) antigen can be produced during pregnancy in a RhD-negative mother carrying a RhD-positive fetus, in particular following feto-maternal haemorrhage at birth or following any procedure that may cause feto-maternal h
- Intramuscular versus intravenous prophylactic oxytocin for the third stage of labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jan-2012
There is a general agreement that oxytocin given either through the intramuscular or intravenous route is effective in reducing postpartum blood loss. However, it is unclear whether the subtle differences between the mode of action of these routes have an
- Intranasal corticosteroids for asthma control in people with coexisting asthma and rhinitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Mar-2009
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are mediated by similar allergic mechanisms. They may represent two manifestations of the same united airway disease and therefore intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) could improve asthma. Nevertheless none of the asthma guideli
- Intranasal corticosteroids for nasal airway obstruction in children with moderate to severe adenoidal hypertrophy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Sep-2010
This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 3, 2008.
- Intranasal fentanyl for the management of acute pain in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2015
Pain is the most common symptom in the emergency setting; however, timely management of acute pain in children continues to be suboptimal. Intranasal drug delivery has emerged as an alternative method of achieving quicker drug delivery without adding to t
- Intranasal ipratropium bromide for the common cold
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jun-2013
The common cold is one of the most common illnesses in humans and constitutes an economic burden both in terms of productivity and expenditure for treatment. There is no proven cure for the common cold and symptomatic relief is the mainstay of treatment.
- Intranasal or transdermal nicotine for the treatment of postoperative pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jan-2016
Acute pain frequently occurs after surgical procedures. Nicotine has been explored as an adjunctive medication for management of postoperative pain.
- Intranasal steroids for acute sinusitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Dec-2013
Acute sinusitis is a common reason for primary care visits. It causes significant symptoms and often results in time off work and school.
- Intraoperative frozen section analysis for the diagnosis of early stage ovarian cancer in suspicious pelvic masses
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Feb-2016
Women with suspected early-stage ovarian cancer need surgical staging which involves taking samples from areas within the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal lymph nodes in order to inform further treatment. One potential strategy is to surgically stage
- Intraoperative local anaesthesia for reduction of postoperative pain following general anaesthesia for dental treatment in children and adolescents
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Dec-2014
Whilst carrying out dental procedures under general anaesthesia (GA), practitioners routinely give local anaesthetics (LA) intraoperatively to children. Local anaesthetics are used to help manage postoperative pain and reduce bleeding and the physiologica
- Intraoperative mild hypothermia for postoperative neurological deficits in people with intracranial aneurysm
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Mar-2016
Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm causes aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, which is one of the most devastating clinical conditions. It can be classified into five Grades using the Hunt-Hess or World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (WFNS) scale.
- Intraoperative Mitomycin C for glaucoma surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2010
Trabeculectomy is performed as a treatment for glaucoma to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP). Mitomycin C (MMC) is an antimetabolite used during the initial stages of a trabeculectomy to prevent excessive postoperative scarring and thus reduce the risk
- Intraoperative use of low volume ventilation to decrease postoperative mortality, mechanical ventilation, lengths of stay and lung injury in adults without acute lung injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jul-2018
Since the 2000s, there has been a trend towards decreasing tidal volumes for positive pressure ventilation during surgery. This an update of a review first published in 2015, trying to determine if lower tidal volumes are beneficial or harmful for patient
- Intrapartum antibiotics for known maternal Group B streptococcal colonization
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jun-2014
Maternal colonization with group B streptococcus (GBS) during pregnancy increases the risk of neonatal infection by vertical transmission. Administration of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) during labor has been associated with a reduction in earl
- Intrapartum fetal scalp lactate sampling for fetal assessment in the presence of a non-reassuring fetal heart rate trace
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Apr-2015
Fetal scalp blood sampling for lactate estimation may be considered following identification of an abnormal or non-reassuring fetal heart rate pattern. The smaller volume of blood required for this test, compared with the more traditional pH estimation, m
- Intrapartum interventions for preventing shoulder dystocia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jul-2009
The early management of shoulder dystocia involves the administration of various manoeuvres which aim to relieve the dystocia by manipulating the fetal shoulders and increasing the functional size of the maternal pelvis.
