It's Time to Lose the Logroll

摘要

Irrespective of your level as an EMS provider, the term "evidence-based medicine" should not be unfamiliar. Conceptually, it is a huge step in the evolution of medicine to let changes in the standards of care occur only when there is adequate science to support the changes. This is especially challenging in the field of pharmacology, where a significant number of drug labels declare "the exact mechanism of action is unknown." These drugs clearly work, but we don't know why. Does that mean that without science we will no longer be able to use these drugs? Of course not!
