Labour companionship refers to support provided to a woman during labour and childbirth, and may be provided by a partner, family member, friend, doula or healthcare professional. A Cochrane systematic review of interventions by Bohren and colleagues, con
- Percussion, diuresis, and inversion therapy for the passage of lower pole kidney stones following shock wave lithotripsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Dec-2013
Lower pole kidney stones typically have poor rates of spontaneous clearance from the body. Some studies have suggested that diuresis, percussion and inversion therapy could be beneficial for people with lower pole kidney stones following shock wave lithot
- Percutaneous central venous catheters versus peripheral cannulae for delivery of parenteral nutrition in neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Oct-2015
Neonatal parenteral nutrition may be delivered via peripheral cannulas or central venous catheters (umbilical or percutaneous). As the result of complications associated with umbilical catheters, many neonatal units prefer to use percutaneous catheters af
- Percutaneous cholecystostomy for high‐risk surgical patients with acute calculous cholecystitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2013
The management of people at high risk of perioperative death due to their general condition (high-risk surgical patients) with acute calculous cholecystitis is controversial, with no clear guidelines. In particular, the role of percutaneous cholecystostom
- Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy versus nasogastric tube feeding for adults with swallowing disturbances
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-May-2015
A number of conditions compromise the passage of food along the digestive tract. Nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding is a classic, time-proven technique, although its prolonged use can lead to complications such as lesions to the nasal wing, chronic sinusitis,
- Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy versus percutaneous radiological gastrostomy for swallowing disturbances
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Feb-2016
Gastrostomy has been established as the standard procedure for administering long-term enteral nutrition in individuals with swallowing disturbances. Percutaneous gastrostomy is a less-invasive approach than open surgical gastrostomy, and can be accomplis
- Percutaneous ethanol injection for liver metastases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Feb-2020
The liver is affected by two of the most common groups of malignant tumours: primary liver tumours and liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma or other extrahepatic primary cancers. Liver metastases are significantly more common than primary liver canc
- Percutaneous ethanol injection or percutaneous acetic acid injection for early hepatocellular carcinoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2015
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common global cancer. When HCC is diagnosed early, interventions such as percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), percutaneous acetic acid injection (PAI), or radiofrequency (thermal) ablation (RF(T)A) may hav
- Percutaneous lines for delivering intravenous antibiotics in people with cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jun-2017
Percutaneous long lines (long intravenous lines) and short intravenous lines (also termed cannulae) are both used to deliver intravenous antibiotics in cystic fibrosis to treat respiratory exacerbations of the disease. The perceived advantage of a long in
- Percutaneous needle aspiration, injection, and re‐aspiration with or without benzimidazole coverage for uncomplicated hepatic hydatid cysts
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2011
Hepatic hydatid cyst is an important public health problem in parts of the world where dogs are used for cattle breeding. Management of uncomplicated hepatic hydatid cysts is currently surgical. However, the puncture, aspiration, injection, and re-aspirat
- Percutaneous pinning for treating distal radial fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Feb-2020
Fracture of the distal radius is a common clinical problem. A key method of surgical fixation is percutaneous pinning, involving the insertion of wires through the skin to stabilise the fracture. This is an update of a Cochrane Review published in 2007.
- Percutaneous techniques versus surgical techniques for tracheostomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jul-2016
Tracheostomy formation is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in critically ill intensive care participants requiring long-term mechanical ventilation. Both surgical tracheostomies (STs) and percutaneous tracheostomies (PTs) are used in
- Percutaneous thrombectomy or ultrasound‐accelerated thrombolysis for initial management of acute limb ischaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Jan-2022
Acute limb ischaemia (ALI), the sudden and significant reduction of blood flow to the limb, is considered a vascular emergency. In the general population, the incidence is estimated as 14 per 100,000. Prognosis depends on the time it takes to diagnose the
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for vertebral artery stenosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Apr-2005
Surgery for vertebral artery stenosis is technically difficult, potentially hazardous and is not considered in most centres. There is growing evidence from case series that vertebral artery stenosis may be treated endovascularly by percutaneous translumin
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for treatment of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) in people with multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-May-2019
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults. The most widely accepted hypothesis regarding its pathogenesis is that it is an immune-mediated disease. It has been hypothesised that intraluminal defects, compression
- Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stents versus coronary artery bypass grafting for people with stable angina or acute coronary syndromes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Oct-2017
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) replaces obstructed vessels with ones from other parts of the body. Alternatively, obstructions are remodelled using catheter-based techniques such as percutaneous coronary angioplasty with the use of stents. Th
- Percutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy for coronary artery disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
This is an update of the review on 'Percutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy for coronary artery disease' first published in The Cochrane Library Issue 4, 2003. Percutaneous transluminal coronary rotational atherectomy (PTCRA) debulks atherosclero
- Percutaneous vascular interventions versus intravenous thrombolytic treatment for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Oct-2018
Most ischaemic strokes are caused by blockage of a cerebral artery by a thrombus. Intravenous administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator given within 4.5 hours is now standard treatment for this condition. Percutaneous vascular interventio
- Percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2018
Percutaneous vertebroplasty remains widely used to treat osteoporotic vertebral fractures although our 2015 Cochrane review did not support its role in routine practice.
