ObjectiveTo select and obtain the related evidence of non-drug management of diarrhea after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) at home and abroad and summarize the best evidence.MethodsWe systematically searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, British Medical Journal best clinical practice, JBI evidence-based Health Care Center database, CINAHL database, Scottish inter-college Guide Network, American Guide Network, Ontario Nursing Society of Canada website, British National Institute of Clinical Medicine, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database. All evidences on the non-drug management of diarrhea in the LC patients, including guidelines, system evaluation, expert consensus, etc. were retrieved. The retrieval time was limited from the establishment of the databases to November 9, 2019. The quality of the literature was independently evaluated by 2 researchers, and the data were extracted from the standard literature according to the judgment of professionals.ResultsThere were 15 literatures including 9 guidelines, 4 expert consensuses, and 2 systematic reviews. After the evaluation, 28 evidences for the non-drug management of diarrhea after LC were summarized.ConclusionsThe best evidences selected in this study could be applied to the practice of non-drug management of diarrhea after LC. However, the evidences should be selected according to the patients’ actual conditions and the individuation.
Objective To retrieve, evaluate, and summarize evidence on the prevention and management of intracranial infections related to lumbar drainage (LD), in order to provide scientific references for clinical practice and decision-making. Methods The literature on the prevention and management of LD-related intracranial infections in LD-related websites and databases was systematically searched, with a search period from the establishment of databases to June 30, 2024. The included literature was evaluated for quality and integrated into evidence. Results A total of 9 articles were included, including 3 guidelines, 1 evidence summary, 1 expert consensus, 1 systematic review, and 3 original studies. A total of 30 pieces of evidence were formed, covering six aspects: risk management, catheter placement, catheter maintenance, extubation, diagnosis and treatment of intracranial infections, education and training. ConclusionsThe prevention and management of LD-related intracranial infections involve multiple pieces of evidence, and medical staff should selectively apply the best evidence based on patient and clinical conditions to reduce the incidence of intracranial infections and improve medical quality.
