- Perioperative corticosteroids for preventing complications following facial plastic surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Jun-2014
Early recovery is an important factor for people undergoing facial plastic surgery. However, the normal inflammatory processes that are a consequence of surgery commonly cause oedema (swelling) and ecchymosis (bruising), which are undesirable complication
- Perioperative dexmedetomidine for acute pain after abdominal surgery in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2016
Acute postoperative pain is still an issue in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Postoperative pain and side effects of analgesic treatment, in particular those of opioids, need to be minimized. Opioid-sparing analgesics, possibly including dexmedetom
- Perioperative enhanced recovery programmes for gynaecological cancer patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Mar-2015
Gynaecological malignancies contribute to 10% to 15% of cancers in women internationally. In recent years, a trend towards new perioperative care strategies has been documented as 'Fast Track (FT) surgery', or 'Enhanced Recovery Programmes' to replace som
- Perioperative fluid volume optimization following proximal femoral fracture
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2016
Proximal femoral fracture (PFF) is a common orthopaedic emergency that affects mainly elderly people at high risk of complications. Advanced methods for managing fluid therapy during treatment for PFF are available, but their role in reducing risk is uncl
- Perioperative glycaemic control for diabetic patients undergoing surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jul-2012
Patients with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of postoperative complications. Data from randomised clinical trials and meta-analyses point to a potential benefit of intensive glycaemic control, targeting near-normal blood glucose, in patients with
- Peri‐operative glycaemic control regimens for preventing surgical site infections in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jul-2009
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization and are potentially preventable. Peri-operative hyperglycaemia has been associated with increased SSIs and previous recommendations have been to
- Perioperative increase in global blood flow to explicit defined goals and outcomes following surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2016
Studies have suggested that increasing whole body blood flow and oxygen delivery around the time of surgery reduces mortality, morbidity and the expense of major operations.
- Perioperative interventions in pelvic organ prolapse surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Aug-2018
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects as many as 50% of parous women, with 14% to 19% of women undergoing a surgical correction. Although surgery for the treatment of POP is common, limited supportive data can be found in the literature regarding the preope
- Perioperative intravenous ketamine for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Dec-2018
Inadequate pain management after surgery increases the risk of postoperative complications and may predispose for chronic postsurgical pain. Perioperative ketamine may enhance conventional analgesics in the acute postoperative setting.
- Perioperative ketamine for acute postoperative pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Jul-2015
Postoperative pain management is often limited by adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting. Adjuvant treatment with an inexpensive opioid-sparing drug such as ketamine may be of value in giving better analgesia with fewer adverse effects.
- Perioperative local anaesthesia for reducing pain following septal surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Aug-2018
Septal surgery is a well-established procedure used to treat nasal obstruction due to deviation of the nasal septum, which is carried out under local or general anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia is used for postoperative pain control, but its effectiveness a
- Perioperative local anaesthesia for reducing pain following tonsillectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Oct-1999
Pain relief after tonsillectomy is an important part of post-operative management. Sometimes local anaesthetics are administed to the tonsillar region, but their effectiveness in relieving pain has not been formally assessed.
- Perioperative medications for preventing temporarily increased intraocular pressure after laser trabeculoplasty
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2017
Glaucoma is the international leading cause of irreversible blindness. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only currently known modifiable risk factor; it can be reduced by medications, incisional surgery, or laser trabeculoplasty (LTP). LTP reduces IOP by
- Perioperative nutrition for the treatment of bladder cancer by radical cystectomy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-May-2019
Radical cystectomy (RC) is the primary surgical treatment for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. This major operation is typically associated with an extended hospital stay, a prolonged recovery period and potentially major complications
- Perioperative nutrition interventions for women with ovarian cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Sep-2013
Women with ovarian cancer have been shown to be at significant risk of malnutrition with incidence rates described as being between 28% to 67%. Nutrition interventions may improve clinical outcomes positively, nutritional status or quality of life measure
- Perioperative restrictive versus goal‐directed fluid therapy for adults undergoing major non‐cardiac surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2019
Perioperative fluid management is a crucial element of perioperative care and has been studied extensively recently; however, 'the right amount' remains uncertain. One concept in perioperative fluid handling is goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT), wherein
- Perioperative statin therapy for improving outcomes during and after noncardiac vascular surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Jul-2013
Patients undergoing vascular surgery are a high-risk population with widespread atherosclerosis, an adverse cardiovascular risk profile and often multiple co-morbidities. Postoperative cardiovascular complications, including myocardial infarct (MI), are c
- Perioperative systemic nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in women undergoing breast surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2021
Breast surgery encompasses oncologic, reconstructive, and cosmetic procedures. With the recent focus on the over-prescribing of opioids in the literature, it is important to assess the effectiveness and safety of non-opioid pain medication regimens includ
- Perioperative transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks for analgesia after abdominal surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Apr-2020
- Peripheral iridotomy for pigmentary glaucoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2016
Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy characterized by retinal ganglion cell death resulting in damage to the optic nerve head and the retinal nerve fiber layer. Pigment dispersion syndrome is characterized by a structural disturbance in the iris pigment
