- Continuous local anaesthetic wound infusion for postoperative pain after midline laparotomy for colorectal resection in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Oct-2019
Colorectal resection through a midline laparotomy is a commonly performed surgical procedure to treat various bowel conditions. The typical postoperative hospital stay after this operation is 6 to 10 days. The main factors hindering early recovery and dis
- Continuous nasogastric milk feeding versus intermittent bolus milk feeding for preterm infants less than 1500 grams
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jun-2021
Milk feedings can be given via nasogastric tube either intermittently, typically over 10 to 20 minutes every two or three hours, or continuously, using an infusion pump. Although the theoretical benefits and risks of each method have been proposed, their
- Continuous negative extrathoracic pressure or continuous positive airway pressure compared to conventional ventilation for acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2013
Acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in children. Positive pressure ventilation is currently the standard care, however, it does have complications. Continuous negative extrathoracic pressure (CNEP)
- Continuous or extended cycle vs. cyclic use of combined hormonal contraceptives for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2014
The avoidance of menstruation through continuous or extended (greater than 28 days) administration of combination hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) has gained legitimacy through its use in treating endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, and menstruation-associated sym
- Continuous passive motion following total knee arthroplasty in people with arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Mar-2014
Arthritis of the knee is a common problem causing pain and disability. If severe, knee arthritis can be surgically managed with a total knee arthroplasty. Rehabilitation following knee arthroplasty often includes continuous passive motion (CPM). CPM is ap
- Continuous passive motion for preventing venous thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Jul-2014
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common form of orthopaedic surgery. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which consists of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a major and potentially fatal complication after TKA. The incidence of DVT
- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during the postoperative period for prevention of postoperative morbidity and mortality following major abdominal surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Aug-2014
Major abdominal surgery can be associated with a number of serious complications that may impair patient recovery. In particular, postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), including respiratory complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia, are a ma
- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for acute bronchiolitis in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Apr-2022
Acute bronchiolitis is one of the most frequent causes of emergency department visits and hospitalisation in children up to three years of age. There is no specific treatment for bronchiolitis except for supportive treatment, which includes ensuring adequ
- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for respiratory distress in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Oct-2020
Respiratory distress, particularly respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), is the single most important cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. In infants with progressive respiratory insufficiency, intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IP
- Continuous positive airway pressure delivery interfaces for obstructive sleep apnoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Oct-2006
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the mainstay of therapy for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, compliance with CPAP has been less than ideal. There are many different CPAP interfaces now available for the treatment o
- Continuous positive airway pressure versus theophylline for apnea in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Oct-2008
Recurrent apnea is common in preterm infants, particularly at very early gestational ages. These episodes of loss of effective breathing can lead to hypoxemia and bradycardia which may be severe enough to require resuscitation including use of positive pr
- Continuous positive airways pressure for obstructive sleep apnoea in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2006
Obstructive sleep apnoea is the periodic reduction (hypopnoea) or cessation (apnoea) of breathing due to narrowing or occlusion of the upper airway during sleep. The main symptom is daytime sleepiness and it has been suggested it is linked to premature de
- Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for rhabdomyolysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2014
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition that is characterised by the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue and leakage of intracellular myocyte contents into circulating blood. Rhabdomyolysis can lead to acute kidney injury (AKI) and is a potentially life-threatening
- Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) versus multiple insulin injections for type 1 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Type 1 diabetes is a metabolic disorder resulting from a defect in insulin secretion. Onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus may occur at any age and it is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and adolescence. Since there are no interventions k
- Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion versus multiple daily injections of insulin for pregnant women with diabetes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jun-2016
Diabetes results in a rise in blood glucose above normal physiological levels; if untreated this may cause damage to many systems including the cardiovascular and renal systems. Pregnancy increases resistance to insulin action; for those women who have pr
- Continuous support for women during childbirth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jul-2017
Historically, women have generally been attended and supported by other women during labour. However, in hospitals worldwide, continuous support during labour has often become the exception rather than the routine.
- Continuous veno‐venous hemofiltration for severe acute pancreatitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Oct-2019
Severe acute pancreatitis is associated with high rates of mortality and life-threatening complications. Continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) has been used in some centers to reduce mortality and avoid local or systemic complications; however, its
- Continuous versus bolus intermittent intragastric tube feeding for preterm and low birth weight infants with gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Aug-2021
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is a particularly common condition among preterm and low birth weight infants. These infants are more likely to have excessive regurgitation, as they do not have a fully developed antireflux mechanism. Preterm and low bir
- Continuous versus intermittent antibiotics for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jun-2018
Bronchiectasis is a chronic airway disease characterised by a destructive cycle of recurrent airway infection, inflammation and tissue damage. Antibiotics are a main treatment for bronchiectasis. The aim of continuous therapy with prophylactic antibiotics
- Continuous versus intermittent beta‐agonists for acute asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-2003
Patients with acute asthma treated in the emergency department are frequently treated with intermittent inhaled beta-agonists delivered by nebulisation. The use of continuous beta-agonist (CBA) via nebulisation in the emergency setting may offer additiona
