Abstract
Evidence-based medicine is the integration of individual clinical expertise with the best available research and the patient's values and expectations. The efficient approach to finding the best evidence is to identify systematic reviews or evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Respiratory therapies that are supported by evidence include lung-protective ventilation and noninvasive ventilation for individuals with COPD. Evidence does not support postoperative incentive spirometry or intermittent mandatory ventilation. The principles of evidence-based medicine are a valuable approach to respiratory care practice.
