A 1992 meta-analysis did not find enough evidence to recommend one method of umbilical cord care as the 'best'. However, certain agents were deemed acceptable including triple dye, silver sulfadiazine and antibiotic ointments. In this paper, the authors sought to discover whether there was now evidence to support one specific method of cord care over others for the prevention of bacterial infection. After a limited search of the English language literature published in the past 10 years, little evidence was found to suggest that treatments to sterilize or speed up the drying of the umbilical cord were either routinely necessary or efficacious. Results from nine studies are summarized in this paper.
1992年的一项荟萃分析未找到足够证据来推荐某一种脐带护理方法为“最佳”方法。然而,某些制剂被认为是可接受的,包括三联染料、磺胺嘧啶银和抗生素软膏。在本文中,作者试图探寻目前是否有证据支持某一种特定的脐带护理方法优于其他方法以预防细菌感染。在对过去10年发表的英文文献进行有限检索后,几乎没有发现证据表明对脐带进行消毒或加速其干燥的处理是常规必要的或有效的。本文总结了9项研究的结果。
