The Cochrane PEC team wishes you all the best for 2017. All year round, meet us in training sessions, conferences, meta-analysis workshops…at our multi-lingual website (see below).
There is no evidence from randomised controlled trials to support the routine use of inhaled oxygen in people with acute myocardial infarction, and we cannot rule out a harmful effect.
Videolaryngoscopes (VLS) may reduce the number of failed intubations, particularly among patients presenting with a difficult airway. They improve the glottic view and may reduce laryngeal/airway trauma.
Ketoprofen 25 mg provided a small benefit compared with placebo for people with frequent episodic tension-type headache who have an acute headache of moderate or severe intensity. Its use was associated with more people experiencing adverse events. Ketoprofen 25 mg was not superior to paracetamol 1000 mg for any efficacy outcome.
The available moderate- to high-quality evidence from randomised controlled trials showed significant benefit from treating Bell's palsy with corticosteroids.
Paracetamol does not produce better outcomes than placebo for people with acute LBP (low back pain), and it is uncertain if it has any effect on chronic LBP.
IV MgSO4 may reduce the need for hospital admission in children presenting to the ED with moderate to severe exacerbations of asthma. Few side effects of the treatment were reported.
