Paramedics' beliefs and expectations towards evidence-based practice and research (Simpson et al) In the research paper Paramedics and evidence-based practice there was a broad online survey, which was based on, five questions related to evidence-based practice (EBP) and pre-hospital. Descriptive statistics are used to answer the question provided in the survey, where a large number of paramedics have a positive attitude towards evidence-based practices. The survey consisted of several questions asked to the paramedic with the year of experience in the education level and clinical level where different demographics of students and paramedics were involved. There were 892 survey responses provided during the one-month study period. In this case, 90% believe that pre-hospital care improves patient care and 92% declare that it is probable that clinical practices will change following the pre-hospital evidence. With research into evidence-based practice they find that paramedics were a distinct group of healthcare workers in society. The research also tells us that paramedics who have positive expectations about EBP are more likely to respond to the survey involving tertiary education and shorter duration services. Some limitations of this survey include that only certain groups of paramedics were involved, the instrument used was not valid or reliable, and a single paramedic responded more than one in the survey. Targeted temperature management at 33 degrees versus 36 degrees after cardiac arrest (Neilsen et al) There is an elevated risk of death and poor neurological function for unconscious survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Pathways were undertaken with patients after awakening from cardiac arrest, which were compared with Ther...... middle of paper ......n Article Nielsen et al (2013) Hierarchical accuracy methods are applied diagnostics which is reviewed on a second level (II), i.e. a randomized controlled study and meta-analysis at a pyramidal level. These are also considered the gold standard in the research design hierarchy for evaluating the safety of a treatment. The therapeutic study method is also applied in which patients of different age groups are treated with two different temperatures. There are two different testing methods used in this study. Here the hierarchy level is high so that we can trust the result based on the data provided. We can also provide the opportunity to gather useful information on adverse effects such as temperature control on cardiac arrest. In the meta-analysis method multiple treatment groups are treated with each other. The article also reports an observational study.
