- Helmets for preventing injury in motorcycle riders
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Sep-2008
Motorcycle crash victims form a high proportion of those killed or injured in road traffic crashes. Injuries to the head, following motorcycle crashes, are a common cause of severe morbidity and mortality. It seems intuitive that helmets should protect ag
- Heparin, low molecular weight heparin and physical methods for preventing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism following surgery for hip fractures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Aug-2008
Hip fracture patients have a high risk of thrombo-embolic complications following surgical management.
- High-carbohydrate, high-protein, low-fat versus low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat enteral feeds for burns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
Severe burn injuries increase patients' metabolic needs. Aggressive high-protein enteral feeding is used in the post-burn period to improve recovery and healing.
- Hip protectors for preventing hip fractures in older people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Mar-2014
Older people living in nursing care facilities or older adults living at home are at high risk of falling and a hip fracture may occur after a fall. Hip protectors have been advocated as a means to reduce the risk of hip fracture. Hip protectors are plast
- Home safety education and provision of safety equipment for injury prevention
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2014
In industrialised countries injuries (including burns, poisoning or drowning) are the leading cause of childhood death and steep social gradients exist in child injury mortality and morbidity. The majority of injuries in pre-school children occur at home
- Household interventions for preventing domestic lead exposure in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Dec-2014
Lead poisoning is associated with physical, cognitive and neurobehavioural impairment in children and trials have tested many household interventions to prevent lead exposure. This is an update of the original review by the same authors first published in
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic wounds
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jun-2015
Chronic wounds are common and present a health problem with significant effect on quality of life. Various pathologies may cause tissue breakdown, including poor blood supply resulting in inadequate oxygenation of the wound bed. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for delayed onset muscle soreness and closed soft tissue injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-May-2010
Soft tissue injuries (including muscle damage after unaccustomed exercise) are common and are often associated with athletic activity. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the therapeutic administration of 100% oxygen at environmental pressures greater tha
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for promoting fracture healing and treating fracture non-union
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Oct-2012
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) consists of intermittently administering 100% oxygen at pressures greater than one atmosphere absolute (ATA) in a pressure vessel. This technology has been used to treat a variety of diseases and has been described as help
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the adjunctive treatment of traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2012
Traumatic brain injury is a common health problem with significant effect on quality of life. Each year in the USA approximately 0.56% of the population suffer a head injury, with a case fatality rate of about 40% for severe injuries. These account for a
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for thermal burns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2009
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) consists of intermittently administering 100% oxygen at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere in a pressure vessel. This technology has been used to treat a variety of disease states and has been described as helping patient
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treating acute surgical and traumatic wounds
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Dec-2013
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used as a treatment for acute wounds (such as those arising from surgery and trauma). However, the effects of HBOT on wound healing are unclear.
- Hyperventilation therapy for acute traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2009
Because hyperventilation is often associated with a rapid fall in intracranial pressure, it has been assumed to be effective in the treatment of severe head injury. Hyperventilation reduces raised intracranial pressure by causing cerebral vasoconstriction
- Hypothermia for traumatic head injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2009
Hypothermia has been used in the treatment of head injury for many years. Encouraging results from small trials and laboratory studies led to renewed interest in the area and some larger trials.
- Hypothermia to reduce neurological damage following coronary artery bypass surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Dec-2012
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may be life saving, but known side effects include neurological damage and cognitive impairment. The temperature used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may be important with regard to these adverse outcomes, where h
- Immobilisation and functional treatment for acute lateral ankle ligament injuries in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2013
Acute lateral ankle ligament injuries (ankle sprains) are common problems in acute medical care. The treatment variation observed for the acutely injured lateral ankle ligament complex suggests a lack of evidence-based management strategies for this probl
- Individual and group based parenting programmes for improving psychosocial outcomes for teenage parents and their children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-May-2012
Parenting programmes are a potentially important means of supporting teenage parents and improving outcomes for their children, and parenting support is a priority across most Western countries. This review updates the previous version published in 2001.
- Individual and group-based parenting programmes for the treatment of physical child abuse and neglect
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2008
Child physical abuse and neglect are important public health problems for which there are currently few effective treatments. Many of the risk factors for child abuse and neglect are not amenable to change in the short term. Intervening to change parentin
- Infusion techniques for peripheral arterial thrombolysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Nov-2021
Acute limb ischaemia usually is caused by a blood clot blocking an artery or a bypass graft. Severe acute ischaemia will lead to irreversible damage to muscles and nerves if blood flow is not restored in a few hours. Once irreversible damage occurs, amput
- Inhaled corticosteroid effects on bone metabolism in asthma and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2008
Inhaled corticosteroids form the main therapy for asthma, but there is increasing concern about the potential systematic effects of long-term inhaled corticosteroids including their effect on bone metabolism and bone loss.
