- Cycled light in the intensive care unit for preterm and low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2013
The potential benefits and harms of different lighting in neonatal units have not been quantified.
- Cyclo-oxygenase (COX) inhibitors for treating preterm labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-May-2015
Preterm birth is a major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Cyclo-oxygenase (COX) inhibitors inhibit uterine contractions, are easily administered and appear to have few maternal side effects. However, adverse effects have been reported in the fe
- Cysteine, cystine or N-acetylcysteine supplementation in parenterally fed neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Nov-2009
Cysteine is a precursor of glutathione, an antioxidant that may reduce oxidation injury. The addition of cysteine to parenteral nutrition (PN) allows for the reduction of the amount of methionine in PN, thereby limiting hepatotoxicity and acidifies the so
- Day care for pre-school children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2008
The debate about how, where and by whom young children should be looked after is one which has occupied much social policy and media attention in recent years. Mothers undertake most of the care of young children. Internationally, out-of-home day-care pro
- Day care versus in-patient surgery for age-related cataract
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Nov-2015
Age-related cataract accounts for more than 40% of cases of blindness in the world with the majority of people who are blind from cataract living in lower income countries. With the increased number of people with cataract, it is important to review the e
- Day centres for severe mental illness
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2008
The number of people with severe mental illness who receive treatment whilst living at home has increased greatly over the last 30 years. Day centres and day hospitals frequently supplement this treatment.
- Deep versus shallow suction of endotracheal tubes in ventilated neonates and young infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-May-2013
Mechanical ventilation is commonly used in Neonatal Intensive Care Units to assist breathing in a variety of conditions. Mechanical ventilation is achieved through the placement of an endotracheal tube (ETT) which is left in-situ. The ETT is suctioned to
- Delayed introduction of progressive enteral feeds to prevent necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2022
Enteral feeding for very preterm or very low birth weight (VLBW) infants is often delayed for several days after birth due to concern that early introduction of feeding may not be tolerated and may increase the risk of necrotising enterocolitis. Concerns
- Developmental care for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2008
Preterm infants experience a range of morbidity related to the immaturity of their organ systems and to concurrent disease states. There is concern that an unfavourable environment in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may compound this morbidity. Mo
- Devices and pressure sources for administration of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in preterm neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2008
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is used to support preterm infants recently extubated, those experiencing significant apnoea of prematurity and those with respiratory distress soon after birth as an alternative to intubation and ventilat
- Digoxin for preventing or treating neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2010
Lendrum 1955 suggested that pulmonary edema secondary to congestive heart failure may contribute to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Based on this hypothesis, investigators began to use digitalis glycosides to improve myocardial contractility
- Disposable nappies for preventing napkin dermatitis in infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2014
Napkin dermatitis is a common condition that occurs in otherwise healthy infants. It causes discomfort to infants, anxiety to parents and caregivers and contributes to the load on the health care system. A large variety of napkins, both disposable and non
- Diuretic therapy for newborn infants with posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2008
Intraventricular hemorrhage remains a serious complication of premature birth and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus still has no satisfactory treatment. Acetazolamide and furosemide, which both reduce the production of cerebrospinal fluid, have been suggeste
- Diuretics acting on the distal renal tubule for preterm infants with (or developing) chronic lung disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2011
Lung disease in preterm infants is often complicated with lung edema.
- Diuretics for respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Nov-2011
Lung edema may complicate respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants.
- Diuretics for transient tachypnoea of the newborn
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Nov-2015
Transient tachypnoea of the newborn (TTN) results from delayed clearance of lung liquid and is a common cause of admission of full-term infants to neonatal intensive care units. The condition is particularly common after elective caesarean section. Conven
- Dopamine for prevention of morbidity and mortality in term newborn infants with suspected perinatal asphyxia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2008
Perinatal asphyxia remains an important condition with significant mortality and long-term morbidity. Multisystem involvement including hypotension and low cardiac output is common in infants with perinatal asphyxia. Dopamine is commonly used for infants
- Dopamine versus dobutamine for hypotensive preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Sep-2008
Inotropes are widely used in preterm infants to treat systemic hypotension. The most commonly used drugs are dopamine and dobutamine. These agents have different modes of action which may result in different haemodynamic effects.
- Dopamine versus no treatment to prevent renal dysfunction in indomethacin-treated preterm newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2009
Indomethacin therapy for closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) frequently causes oliguria and occasionally more serious renal dysfunction. Low dose dopamine has been suggested as a means for preventing this side effect.
- Double wall versus single wall incubator for reducing heat loss in very low birth weight infants in incubators
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jan-2010
Studies have shown improved survival of newborn infants maintained in the thermoneutral range. Incubators with a double plexiglass wall for additional insulation may help to provide an improved thermoneutral environment for very low birth weight infants.
