"Evidence-informed" may be a better term than "evidence-based" when applying EBM in daily clinical practice.
Evidence-Informed Practice: 1. Scientific evidence. 2. Clinical experience. 3. Patient's values, preferences, and circumstances. The four most important favorable factors to be considered:
1. ST elevation on ECG after ROSC. 2. Initial rhythm is VT or VF, or recurrent VF. 3. No other non-cardiac cause of death. 4. Witnessed arrest and bystander CPR. By Carolina C. Sousa, M.D., and Joana Duarte, M.D.
