- Naloxone for preventing morbidity and mortality in newborn infants of greater than 34 weeks' gestation with suspected perinatal asphyxia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Studies in animal models have suggested that naloxone, a specific opiate antagonist, may improve outcomes for newborn infants with perinatal asphyxia.
- Naloxone for shock
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-May-2009
There is pre-clinical evidence, involving several animal species, suggesting that opioid peptides play a role in the physiopathology of shock (endotoxic, hypovolemic, cardiogenic, spinal, anaphylactic). Many case reports have suggested that naloxone (an o
- Naproxen with or without an antiemetic for acute migraine headaches in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2013
Migraine is a common, disabling condition and a burden for the individual, health services, and society. Many sufferers choose not to, or are unable to, seek professional help and rely on over-the-counter analgesics. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-infla
- Narrow band imaging versus conventional white light colonoscopy for the detection of colorectal polyps
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2011
It has been suggested that narrow band imaging colonoscopy (NBI) might be better for detection of colorectal polyps than white light colonoscopy (WLC).
- Narrow band imaging versus white light cystoscopy alone for transurethral resection of non‐muscle invasive bladder cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Apr-2022
Disease recurrence and progression remain major challenges for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Narrow band imaging (NBI) is an optical enhancement technique that may improve resection of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and thereby
- Narrow‐band ultraviolet B phototherapy versus broad‐band ultraviolet B or psoralen‐ultraviolet A photochemotherapy for psoriasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Oct-2013
The most commonly used types of phototherapy for treating psoriasis are narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB); broad-band ultraviolet B (BB-UVB), which includes selective (delivering radiation with a wavelength range of 305 to 325 nm) and conventional BB-UVB
- Nasal continuous positive airway pressure immediately after extubation for preventing morbidity in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2009
Preterm infants being extubated following a period of intermittent positive pressure ventilation via an endotracheal tube are at risk of developing respiratory failure as a result of apnea, respiratory acidosis and hypoxia. Nasal continuous positive airwa
- Nasal continuous positive airway pressure levels for the prevention of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Nov-2021
Preterm infants are at risk of lung atelectasis due to various anatomical and physiological immaturities, placing them at high risk of respiratory failure and associated harms. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a positive pressure applie
- Nasal decongestants for the common cold
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Feb-2009
The common cold is a major and recurrent cause of morbidity, on average affecting children and adults two or more times each year. Nasal congestion is its commonest symptom and many therapies are marketed for its relief. There is no meta-analysis of contr
- Nasal decongestants in monotherapy for the common cold
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Oct-2016
Many treatments for the common cold exist and are sold over-the-counter. Nevertheless, evidence on the effectiveness and safety of nasal decongestants is limited.
- Nasal decontamination for the prevention of surgical site infection in Staphylococcus aureus carriers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-May-2017
Surgical site infection rates in the month following surgery vary from 1% to 5%. Due to the large number of surgical procedures conducted annually, the costs of these surgical site infections (SSIs) can be considerable in financial and social terms. Nasal
- Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for apnea of prematurity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2008
Apnea of prematurity is almost universal in infants who are born before 34 weeks gestation. Previous randomised trials and systematic reviews have found methylxanthines to be effective in preventing apnea of prematurity. However, recent concerns about pot
- Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) for preterm neonates after extubation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Feb-2017
Previous randomised trials and meta-analyses have shown that nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a useful method for providing respiratory support after extubation. However, this treatment sometimes 'fails' in infants, and they may requir
- Nasal saline irrigations for the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Apr-2016
The use of nasal irrigation for the treatment of nose and sinus complaints has its foundations in yogic and homeopathic traditions. There has been increasing use of saline irrigation, douches, sprays and rinsing as an adjunct to the medical management of
- Nasal versus oral intubation for mechanical ventilation of newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Apr-1999
Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure in newborn intensive care units. The choice of the oral or nasal route for intubation is usually determined by an institution's customary practice. The procedure of intubation for both the oral and nasal route
- Nasal versus oral route for placing feeding tubes in preterm or low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2013
Enteral feeding tubes for preterm or low birth weight infants may be placed via either the nose or mouth. Nasal placement may compromise respiration. However, orally placed tubes may be more prone to displacement, local irritation, and vagal stimulation.
- Nasogastric versus nasojejunal tube feeding for severe acute pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Mar-2020
Nutrition is an important aspect of management in severe acute pancreatitis. Enteral nutrition has advantages over parenteral nutrition and is the preferred method of feeding. Enteral feeding via nasojejunal tube is often recommended, but its benefits ove
- Natalizumab for induction of remission in Crohn's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Aug-2018
This systematic review update summarizes the current evidence on the use of natalizumab for induction of remission in Crohn's disease (CD).
- Natalizumab for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Aug-2011
Natalizumab (NTZ) (Tysabri®) is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits leukocyte migration across the blood-brain barrier, thus reducing inflammation in central nervous system, and has been approved worldwide for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple
- Natriuretic peptide‐guided treatment for the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients without heart failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Oct-2019
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Early intervention for those with high cardiovascular risk is crucial in improving patient outcomes. Traditional prevention strategies for CVD have focused on conventio
