- Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for acute respiratory failure following upper abdominal surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Oct-2015
Each year, more than four million abdominal surgeries are performed in the US and over 250,000 in England. Acute respiratory failure, a common complication that can affect 30% to 50% of people after upper abdominal surgery, can lead to significant morbidi
- Non‐invasive positive pressure ventilation for central sleep apnoea in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Oct-2022
Central sleep apnoea (CSA) is characterised by abnormal patterns of ventilation during sleep due to a dysfunctional drive to breathe. Consequently, people with CSA may present poor sleep quality, sleep fragmentation, inattention, fatigue, daytime sleepine
- Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for prevention of complications after pulmonary resection in lung cancer patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Sep-2015
Pulmonary complications are often observed during the postoperative period of lung resection for patients with lung cancer. Some conditions such as intubation, a long stay in the intensive care unit, the high cost of antibiotics and mortality may be avoid
- Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for treatment of respiratory failure due to exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Apr-2009
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is being used increasingly in the management of patients admitted to hospital with acute respiratory failure secondary to an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for treatment of respiratory failure due to severe acute exacerbations of asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2012
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition causing inflammation and changes to the airways. Care of people with asthma includes routine and urgent management across primary and tertiary care; however, due to sub-optimal long-term care and delays in obtaini
- Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation as a weaning strategy for intubated adults with respiratory failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Dec-2013
Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) provides ventilatory support without the need for an invasive airway. Interest has emerged in using NPPV to facilitate earlier removal of an endotracheal tube and to decrease complications associated with p
- Non-invasive ventilation during exercise training for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2014
Exercise training as a component of pulmonary rehabilitation improves health-related quality of life (HRQL) and exercise capacity in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, some individuals may have difficulty performing exercis
- Non-invasive ventilation for cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Mar-2014
Non-invasive ventilation may be a means to temporarily reverse or slow the progression of respiratory failure in cystic fibrosis.
- Nonlatex versus latex male condoms for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Mar-2015
The male condom, which consists of a thin sheath placed over the glans and shaft of the penis, is designed to prevent pregnancy by providing a physical barrier against the deposition of semen into the vagina during intercourse. Beginning in the 1990s, non
- Non-legislative interventions for the promotion of cycle helmet wearing by children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Dec-2011
Helmets reduce bicycle-related head injuries, particularly in single vehicle crashes and those where the head strikes the ground. We aimed to identify non-legislative interventions for promoting helmet use among children, so future interventions can be de
- Non-neuroleptic catecholaminergic drugs for neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jan-2013
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disabling movement disorder associated with the prolonged use of neuroleptic medication. Several strategies have been examined in the treatment of TD. Currently, however, there is no clear evidence of the effectiveness of thes
- Non-nutritive sucking for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in preterm and low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Oct-2014
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is commonly diagnosed in the neonatal population (DiPietro 1994), and generally causes few or no symptoms (Vandenplas 2009). Conversely, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) refers to GOR that causes troublesome symptom
- Non-nutritive sucking for promoting physiologic stability and nutrition in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-May-2010
Non-nutritive sucking is used during gavage feeding and in the transition from gavage to breast/bottle feeding in preterm infants to promote the development of sucking behaviour and improve digestion of enteral feedings.
- Non-operative management versus operative management in high-grade blunt hepatic injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Aug-2015
Surgery used to be the treatment of choice in cases of blunt hepatic injury, but this approach gradually changed over the last two decades as increasing non-operative management (NOM) of splenic injury led to its use for hepatic injury. The improvement in
- Nonoperative treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Aug-2013
Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is one of the most commonly diagnosed and treated pathological spinal conditions. It frequently afflicts the elderly population.
- Non-operative versus operative treatment for blunt pancreatic trauma in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2014
Pancreatic trauma in children is a serious condition with high morbidity. Blunt traumatic pancreatic lesions in children can be treated non-operatively or operatively. For less severe, grade I and II, blunt pancreatic trauma a non-operative or conservativ
- Non-opioid drugs for pain management in labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-May-2012
Labour is a normal physiological process, but is usually associated with pain and discomfort. Numerous methods are used to relieve labour pain. These include pharmacological (e.g. epidural, opioids, inhaled analgesia) and non-pharmacological (e.g. hypnosi
- Nonoxynol-9 for preventing vaginal acquisition of HIV infection by women from men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Dec-2011
There is a need for female-controlled methods of HIV prevention. Vaginal microbicides, substances inserted into the vagina to prevent women acquiring HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from men, could be useful in this regard. One potential va
- Nonoxynol-9 for preventing vaginal acquisition of sexually transmitted infections by women from men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Dec-2011
The incidence and prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and other reproductive tract infections (RTI) is high in much of the developing and parts of the developed worlds. STIs and RTIs are associated with the vaginal transmission of HIV. Add
- Non-penetrating filtration surgery versus trabeculectomy for open-angle glaucoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Feb-2014
Glaucoma is the second commonest cause of blindness worldwide. Non-penetrating glaucoma surgeries have been developed as a safer and more acceptable surgical intervention to patients compared to conventional procedures.
