Timed voiding is a fixed time interval toileting assistance program that has been promoted for the management of people with urinary incontinence who cannot participate in independent toileting. For this reason, it is commonly assumed to represent current
- Time‐lapse systems for embryo incubation and assessment in assisted reproduction

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Oct-2016
Reablement, also known as restorative care, is one possible approach to home-care services for older adults at risk of functional decline. Unlike traditional home-care services, reablement is frequently time-limited (usually six to 12 weeks) and aims to m
- Timing and volume of fluid administration for patients with bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Mar-2014
Treatment of haemorrhagic shock involves maintaining blood pressure and tissue perfusion until bleeding is controlled. Different resuscitation strategies have been used to maintain the blood pressure in trauma patients until bleeding is controlled. Howeve
- Timing of breast surgery in premenopausal breast cancer patients

Inhalation of hypertonic saline improves sputum rheology, accelerates mucociliary clearance and improves clinical outcomes of people with cystic fibrosis. This is an update of a previously published Cochrane Review.
- Timing of intravenous prophylactic antibiotics for preventing postpartum infectious morbidity in women undergoing cesarean delivery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Nov-2014
Given the continued rise in cesarean birth rate and the increased risk of surgical site infections after cesarean birth compared with vaginal birth, effective interventions must be established for prevention of surgical site infections. Prophylactic intra
- Timing of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) in cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2021
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive, life-limiting, multisystem disease affecting over 70,000 individuals worldwide. Between 80% and 90% of people with CF suffer with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, which if left untreated, leads to a poor n
- Timing of prophylactic uterotonics for the third stage of labour after vaginal birth

Administration of the uterotonic drugs is one of the main components of the active management of the third stage of labour. The timing of uterotonics varies considerably across the globe and it may have significant implications on the well-being of the mo
- Timing of renal replacement therapy initiation for acute kidney injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Dec-2018
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition among patients in intensive care units (ICUs), and is associated with high death. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is a blood purification technique used to treat the most severe forms of AKI. The optimal tim
