TY - JOUR T1 - Myths, Misunderstandings, and Dogma in Respiratory Care JF - Respiratory Care SP - 1314 LP - 1324 DO - 10.4187/respcare.01816 VL - 57 IS - 8 AU - Bruce K Rubin AU - Jeffrey M Haynes Y1 - 2012/08/01 UR - http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/57/8/1314.abstract N2 - Evidence-based medicine has assumed a major place in establishing the standard of care for many diseases. Yet practices based largely on clinical experience have often been difficult to change, even when clearly associated with patient harm. In this paper, based on the 27th Philip Kittredge Memorial Lecture, we highlight respiratory care practices that have clearly failed the tests of time and evidence yet sometimes tenaciously persist. We also discuss the appropriate use and potential abuse of evidence-based medicine. ER -
