Edit Request - Cost[edit]

Mohamad Christi created a cost-effective invention to help children with pneumonia in low-income countries. It works similarly to a bubble-cPAP, however, it is made out of a simple shampoo bottle filled with water and some tubing attached. This simple invention cut the price of treatment by approximately 90% which helped parents in low-income countries who could not afford bubble-cPAP treatment for their children with pneumonia. [1]

Would need a recommendation by say WHO. Also do we have a good ref to support bubble CPAP in pneumonia?
Seems like the trials are ongoing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28883928 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:28, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
This review says "More research is needed on the implementation, cost and effectiveness of CPAP in the management of pneumonia and in neonatal care in developing countries" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24165032 Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:33, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 15 October 2018[edit]

We would like to add Cochrane Evidence


Review : oral care for Nursing home acquired pneumoria 2018

Conclusion : there is no evidence that one approach to oral care is better than the other one prevening nursing home acquired pneumonia[1]

There is no high quality evidence about the topic.
