Abstract:
The evaluation of professional practices is now obligatory. Evidence-Based Medicine, defined as the use of current best evidence in making well-informed decisions, could play a major role for that purpose, as it allows an objective evaluation of the clinical practices by the use of there commendations it gives rise to. The aim of that study was to describe the EBM decision procedure with examples in anaesthesia, and to present its limits, particularly due to the problems of hierarchies of evidence.
