Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy for Asthma:A Critical Review

Background and AimsDecision-making is the major component in triaging EDs patients. EDs Triage systems have applied different approaches to triaging intoxicated patients. Pros & Cons for these approaches need to be identified. Aim is to analysis management of intoxicated patients during various triage process.MethodsCritical review includes five triage systems, Emergency Severity Index, Australasian Triage Scale, Canadian triage and Acuity Scale, Manchester Triage System and 5-tier Triage protocol. These systems have been analyzed via meta-synthesis in terms of evidence-based criteria, inclusiveness, specific application and practicability.ResultsGeneral physiologic signs & symptoms were the gold standard for determining acuity in patients that have been applied by all triage systems. Conscious level, air way, respiratory status and circulation assessment were identified as major criteria in decision-making. 5-tier Triage protocol showed the most comprehensiveness characteristics to prioritizing intoxicated patients.DiscussionResources necessary for evidence-based performance to support nursing decisions in triaging intoxicated patients needs fundamentally to be developed. It`s necessary to develop National Triage Scale to approach intoxicated patients effectively.

This article critically reviews the role of evidence-based medicine and its guidelines, from their logistic preparation to their interpretation. The strengths and weaknesses of the methodological points are presented, as well the reasons for the extreme popularity of the guidelines in developed countries. The review discusses the main foundations of the most cited guidelines and some recent large studies. Some of the final conclusions are that clinical experience is always an important factor to consider, even in the face of solid evidence, to achieve the best possible management of any particular patient.
