Do you or a loved one have experience with a new born in need of a mechanical ventilator (a machine to help the baby breathe)? Your input is needed on a review considering medication to reduce pain for neonates with a endotracheal tube (a plastic tube placed in the windpipe)?
Skills / interests: Patient and public input
Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on the prevention of pain during endotracheal suctioning in ventilated newborns?
I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review "Pharmacological interventions for the prevention of pain during endotracheal suctioning in ventilated neonates.”
Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, a carer/family member of a patient of a newborn undergoing endotracheal suctioning). From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.
While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers.
Thank you in advance for considering!
