A neonate may be born physically dependent on opioid medications, which causes withdrawal symptoms (such as high-pitched crying, disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle and tremors) after birth. This is diagnosed with a standardised withdrawal assessment, such as the Finnegan score. Newborns developing NAS require medical treatment and longer hospital stays after birth than neonates without this condition. Treatments for NAS include multiple multimodal treatments to ease symptoms of withdrawal, such as swaddling, 'rooming in' and breastfeeding. If the standardised assessment exceeds a certain threshold, newborns are treated pharmacologically with an orally administered opioid. However, optimal NAS management continues to be debated. Acupuncture has been proposed as a potential intervention. Acupuncture involves stimulation of specific points on the body, either through the insertion of thin metal needles or with techniques that do not penetrate the skin, such as acupressure and laser.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>To assess if acupuncture (acupressure, needle, laser) reduces the treatment duration of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in newborn infants, reduces adverse events and reduces length of hospital stay.</p><p><strong>Search methods: </strong>We used bibliographic databases (CENTRAL, PubMed, Embase) and trial registries, together with reference checking, citation searching and contact with study authors, to identify the studies that are included in the review.

In a paediatric setting, EGTs are used within clinical practice for a variety of reasons including enteral feeding, decompression, post-gastrointestinal surgery, patient assessment, and drug and fluid administration. Confirmation of EGT placement is required immediately following insertion and thereafter prior to each use, including after the administration of enteral feed or medication. Although the majority of these tubes are inserted and used without incident, there is an established risk that the tube can be misplaced into the lungs or move out of the stomach. This misplacement can result in significant harm or mortality. As such, diagnostic tests are required to assess the placement of EGTs and to rule out the target condition of potential airway placement. Various methods are used to determine EGT position, including bedside assessment and observing for signs of respiratory distress. Air insufflated (blown) through the EGT in combination with epigastric auscultation (listening to the stomach with a stethoscope) for whooshing sounds has also been used. Although these tests are widely recognised, they are not officially recommended for use as standalone measures of EGT placement. Current American and UK guidelines recommend a combination of aspirate testing and radiological confirmation of EGT placement in infant, child, and adult populations. In adults, objective measures of pH of the aspirate may be used, with a pH reading between 1 and 5.5 considered a reliable method for excluding placement in the pulmonary tree. However, testing for acidity of aspirate obtained from the EGT does not accurately differentiate between bronchial and gastric secretions in paediatric practice. Additionally, there may be difficulty in obtaining aspirate from the EGT especially within a paediatric population due to the size of the EGT and the smaller volumes of gastric secretions produced. Radiography or direct visualisation are the only reliable methods of confirming EGT placement (valid at time of X-ray and point of insertion, respectively) in this population and are thus considered the reference standard. However, within the paediatric population, there is a known difficulty with obtaining radiographs that visualise the entire course of the EGT and a recognised risk in radiation exposure in the paediatric setting. The measurement of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in exhaled air is a recognised and mandatory standard of care for confirming and monitoring endotracheal tube or airway placement under general anaesthesia. The measurement of CO₂ can be achieved in one of two ways: capnography or colorimetric capnometry. Capnography is the measurement of inspired and expired CO₂ using the absorption of infrared light by CO₂ molecules to estimate CO₂ concentrations.

Interventions to slow its progression are needed in childhood, when myopia progression is most rapid. This is a review update, conducted as part of a living systematic review.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>To assess the comparative efficacy and safety of interventions for slowing myopia progression in children using network meta-analysis (NMA). To generate a relative ranking of interventions according to their efficacy. To produce a brief economic commentary, summarising economic evaluations.</p><p><strong>Search methods: </strong>We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, and three trial registers. The latest search date was 19 February 2024.</p><p><strong>Eligibility criteria: </strong>We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of optical, pharmacological, light therapy and behavioural interventions for slowing myopia progression in children, up to 18 years old.</p><p><strong>Outcomes: </strong>Critical outcomes were progression of myopia (mean difference (MD) in the change in spherical equivalent refraction (SER, dioptres (D)), and axial length (AL, mm) in the intervention and control groups at one year or longer), and difference in the change in SER and AL following cessation of treatment (rebound).</p><p><strong>Risk of bias: </strong>We assessed the risk of bias (RoB) for SER and AL using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool.</p><p><strong>Synthesis methods: </strong>We followed standard Cochrane methods. We rated the certainty of evidence using the GRADE approach for change in SER and AL at one and two years. We used the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) to rank the interventions for all available outcomes.</p><p><strong>Included studies: </strong>We included 104 studies (40 new for this update) that randomised 17,509 children, aged 4 years to 18 years. Most studies were conducted in China or other Asian countries (66.3%), and North America (14.4%). Eighty-four studies (80.8%) compared myopia control interventions against inactive controls. Study durations ranged from 12 months to 48 months.</p><p><strong>Synthesis of results: </strong>Since most of the networks in the NMA were poorly connected, our estimates are based on direct (pairwise) comparisons, unless stated otherwise.
