ProSeal vs Classic laryngeal mask airway (LMA)

Inadequate oxygenation (SaO₂ < 90% on peripheral oxygen saturation) · adult patients (18 years of age and older) for positive pressure ventilation undergoing elective surgery

It is very uncertain whether proSeal changes inadequate oxygenation (SaO₂ < 90% on peripheral oxygen saturation) compared with classic laryngeal mask airway (LMA) (very low certainty).

Cerebral NIRS oximetry vs no cerebral NIRS oximetry

Oxygen requirement at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age · patients with preventing morbidity and mortality in very preterm infants

It is very uncertain whether cerebral NIRS oximetry changes chronic lung disease (oxygen supplementation at 36 weeks'… compared with no cerebral NIRS oximetry (very low certainty).

Cuffed vs uncuffed tubes

Need for tracheal re‐intubation for postoperative stridor (defined as the need to re‐intubate to assure oxygenation to deal with postextubation stridor) · Children up to eight years undergoing general anaesthesia

It is very uncertain whether cuffed changes need for tracheal re‐intubation for postoperative stridor (defined… compared with uncuffed tubes (very low certainty).

Vitamin A vs no supplementation

Chronic lung disease · promoting growth and development in very low birth weight infants receiving human milk

Supplemental vitamin A showed no clear difference in chronic lung disease (oxygen use at 28 days in survivors) compared with no supplementation (moderate certainty).

Vitamin A vs no supplementation

Death or chronic lung disease · promoting growth and development in very low birth weight infants receiving human milk

Supplemental vitamin A probably leads to lower death or chronic lung disease (oxygen use at 28 days) compared with no supplementation (moderate certainty).

Regional (spinal, epidural, caudal) vs general anaesthesia

Any oxygen desaturation occurring 12‐24 hours following completion of the operation · Preterm infants requiring surgery for inguinal hernia in early infancy

Regional (spinal, epidural, caudal) showed no clear difference in any oxygen desaturation occurring 12‐24 hours following completion… compared with general anaesthesia (moderate certainty).

Bovine lung lavage surfactant extract vs modified bovine minced lung surfactant extract

Death or oxygen requirement at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age · Preterm infants for treatment of RDS

Bovine lung lavage surfactant extract showed no clear difference in death or oxygen requirement at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age compared with modified bovine minced lung surfactant extract (high certainty).
