Downloaded from 1 2 3 Abstract 4 5 Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) disease is a progressive lung disease, usually 6 7 caused by tobacco smoking, but other important risk factors include exposures to combustion products of 8 9 biomass fuels and environmental pollution. The introduction of several new (combination) inhaler 10 11 therapies, increasing uncertainty about the role of inhaled corticosteroids and a rapid proliferation of the 12 13 literature on management of stable COPD in general, call for novel ways of evidence synthesis in this 14 15 area. A systematic review and evidence map can provide the basis for shared decision-making tools and 16 For peer review only 17 help establish a future research agenda. 18 19 Methods and analysis: This systematic review will follow an umbrella systematic review design (also 20 21 called overview of reviews). We plan to conduct a comprehensive literature search of six databases. We 22 23 will include systematic reviews that assessed the effectiveness of any pharmacological or non- 24 25 pharmacological intervention on one or more patient-important outcomes and/or lung function in patients 26 with stable COPD. For every intervention/outcome pair one systematic review will be included. An a priori 27 28 protocol will guide which systematic reviews will be chosen, how their credibility will be evaluated, and 29 30 how the quality of the body of evidence will be rated. Data will be synthesized into an evidence map that 31 32 will present a matrix that depicts each available treatment for stable COPD with a quantitative estimate on http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 33 34 symptoms/outcomes from the patient perspective, along with an indication of the size and certainty in the 35 36 evidence. 37 38 Ethics and dissemination: Approval by a research ethics committee is not required since the review will 39 40 only include published and publicly accessible data. The systematic review will be published in a peer- on September 26, 2021 by guest.

Downloaded from 1 2 3 Article Summary 4 5 Strengths and limitations of this study 6 7 The planned evidence synthesis will summarise a very large body of literature on 8 9 pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions thus making research evidence more 10 11 accessible for stakeholders 12 13 The systematic review will be the first to use an evidence map to identify evidence gaps and to 14 15 facilitate evidence communication in clinical encounters for COPD. 16 For peer review only 17 For patients and clinicians, the map will facilitate the production of decision aids. For 18 19 policymakers and researchers, the map helps in establishing a future research agenda. 20 21 The systematic review uses an a priori protocol to identify the most up-to-date systematic reviews 22 23 of the highest possible quality, and the level of evidence for many intervention/outcome pairs will 24 25 therefore likely be high 26 27 As we will only include one systematic review per intervention/outcome pair, it is possible that 28 29 some studies will not have been captured in included systematic reviews 30 31 32 http://bmjopen.bmj.com/ 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 on September 26, 2021 by guest.

Downloaded from 1 2 3 Introduction 4 5 6 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by chronic 7 8 obstruction of airflow and permanent damage to the air sacs that leads to breathing problems. COPD is 9 10 mainly a consequence of tobacco smoking, but other important risk factors include exposures to 11 12 combustion products of biomass fuels and environmental pollution.1 COPD is the fourth most common 13 14 cause of death globally and is predicted to be the third by 2030.2 In 2010, the number of COPD cases 15 16 was estimated at 384For million, which peer corresponded review to a global prevalence only of 11.7% (95% confidence 17 18 interval [CI] 8.4%–15.0%).2 COPD was responsible for about 5% of global disability–adjusted life years 19 20 (76.7 million) and 5% of total deaths (2.9 million) based on data from the 2010 Global Burden of Disease 21 3 4 22 study. In some low- and middle income countries COPD has become a growing, but often neglected, 23 epidemic, with a recent study showing a prevalence of COPD of 13.7% (95% CI 12.1–15.5) in Chinese 24 25 people aged 40 years or older.5 Patients with COPD are frequent users of the health care system and 26 27 often need to be admitted to hospital repeatedly, often within short intervals.6 28 29 30 31 Recently, there has been a rapid increase in inhaler therapies available for the management of COPD.

Hoyme, M., Scheungraber, C., Reinhart, K. and Schummer, W. Distributed under Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 Abstract Common phenomena of spinal anaesthesia for caesarean sections are hypotension and cardiovascular depression, both of which require immediate action. Akrinor® (theodrenaline and cafedrine), a sympathomimetic agent commonly used in Germany for such cases, was phased out with little notice at the end of 2005. Phenylephrine was not and is not an approved drug. Norepinephrine became the first-line drug. The outcome in neonates delivered by elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia was studied. At our university hospital, all elective caesarean sections under spinal anaesthesia from 2005 and 2006 were analysed regarding hypotension and the vasopressor administered. If maternal arterial pressure decreased by more than 20% of baseline, patients in 2005 received Akrinor®; patients in 2006 received norepinephrine.

    REVIEW CURRENT OPINION Hypotension after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section: how to approach the iatrogenic sympathectomy Christina Massotha, Lisa To¨pelb, and Manuel Wenkb Purpose of review Hypotension during cesarean section remains a frequent complication of spinal anesthesia and is associated with adverse maternal and fetal events. Recent findings Despite ongoing research, no single measure for sufficient treatment of spinal-induced hypotension was 05/25/2020 on BhDMf5ePHKbH4TTImqenVDezntqwKeJGjCYTUOBBz0EyVSh+WquM7uJo3U//pWTO by http://journals.lww.com/co-anesthesiology from Downloaded Downloaded identified so far. Current literature discusses the efficacy of low-dose spinal anesthesia, timing and solutions for adequate fluid therapy and various vasopressor regimens. Present guidelines favor the use of from phenylephrine over ephedrine because of decreased umbilical cord pH values, while norepinephrine is http://journals.lww.com/co-anesthesiology discussed as a probable superior alternative with regard to maternal bradycardia, although supporting data is limited. Alternative pharmacological approaches, such as 5HT3-receptor antagonists and physical methods may be taken into consideration to further improve hemodynamic stability. Summary Current evidence favors a combined approach of low-dose spinal anesthesia, adequate fluid therapy and vasopressor support to address maternal spinal-induced hypotension. As none of the available vasopressors by is associated with relevantly impaired maternal and fetal outcomes, none of them should

Benzhydrocodone and Acetaminophen tablets exposes users to risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death. Assess patient’s risk before prescribing and monitor regularly for these behaviors and conditions. (5.1) To ensure that the benefits of opioid analgesics outweigh the risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has required a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for these products. (5.2) Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur. Monitor closely, especially upon initiation or following a dose increase. (5.3) Accidental ingestion of Benzhydrocodone and Acetaminophen tablets, especially by children, can result in a fatal overdose of hydrocodone. (5.3) Prolonged use of Benzhydrocodone and Acetaminophen tablets during pregnancy can result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which may be life-threatening if not recognized and treated. If prolonged opioid use is required in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available.
