Tracheal suction at birth in non‐vigorous neonates born through meconium‐stained amniotic fluid

Protocol

https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD012671

Differences between protocol and review

We made the following changes to the published protocol (Nangia 2017).

  • During the review, we observed that the need for advanced resuscitative measures, immediate resuscitation outcome and two additional outcomes may be influenced by the intervention (tracheal suction). Therefore, we added the following additional outcomes:

    • need for chest compression during resuscitation;

    • need for epinephrine during resuscitation;

    • Apgar score less than seven at five minutes;

    • culture‐positive sepsis;

    • persistent pulmonary hypertension.

  • In addition, the duration of hospitalisation which was mentioned in days in the protocol (Nangia 2017), is reported in hours in the review.

The following outcomes, although reported, are not part of the summary of findings table: duration of hospitalisation and incidence of neurodevelopmental delay.

We made the following changes to the proposed search methods:

  • As of July 2019, Cochrane Neonatal no longer searches Embase for its reviews. RCTs and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) from Embase are added to the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) via a robust process (see How CENTRAL is created). Cochrane Neonatal has validated their searches to ensure that relevant Embase records are found while searching CENTRAL (Ovelman 2020).

  • Also starting in July 2019, Cochrane Neonatal no longer searches for RCTs and CCTs on the following platforms: ClinicalTrials.gov or from the World Health Organization’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP), as records from both platforms are added to CENTRAL on a monthly basis (see How CENTRAL is created). Comprehensive search strategies are executed in CENTRAL to retrieve relevant records. The ISRCTN Registry (at www.isrctn.com/, formerly Controlled‐trials.com), is searched separately.

  • Starting in September 2020, Cochrane Neonatal no longer searches for RCTs and quasi‐RCTs from CINAHL, as records are identified and added to CENTRAL on a monthly basis through Cochrane's Centralised Search Service project (see How CENTRAL is created at www.cochranelibrary.com/central/central-creation#CINAHL%20section).

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: Confidence interval; RR: Risk ratio; OR: Odds ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect
Moderate certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different
Low certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect
Very low certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect
